[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Once again, this is because coaches coach teams and players play the game. The "club" does neither. Furthermore TD's don't spend enough time coaching their coaches to adhere to a certain "way" or "style" of playing. All clubs will provide you a Powerpoint or website purporting to have a consistent style, levels, maturation process, etc. It is all marketing BS. Clubs spend zero to little time ensuring this happens. Why? Because their TD's are ALSO coaching their own teams and don't have time to do this[/quote]

Not all clubs. At our club every team really follows the same style. Every team does the exact same thing at practice. Coaches rotate so teams don’t get accustomed. TD does not coach a team. A and B teams get taught the same methods.  Generalizations are never good.  Find a club or team that works for your child.[/quote]

I can believe it, because I know of a few clubs who do it.  Out of curiosity, which club do you mean?  because I know you aren't talking about fcv[/quote]

Would rather not attract all the trolls but it’s not FCV[/quote]

DP here, I’m curious as well.  This statement, that your club plays exactly the same across all coaches and teams and that FCV doesn’t, is odd because (unless the club is hyper focused on a specific, restricted age group range?), there are many aspects of play that you will see in older groups that younger groups simply aren’t ready for yet.

For a full slate of age groups and teams, it also implies two very improbable things:

1. That you have witnessed the instruction of every single coach and player at your existing club.  You have intimate knowledge of how every coach interacts with the players on their specific team, or, if coaches float, you have knowledge of how each coach interacts with/instructs every team to which they float, across all age groups.  You have also seen every single team play to verify your conclusion.

2. That you have similarly witnessed the instruction of every single coach and player at FCV, across multiple age groups to confirm the opposite.  You have observed a statistically significant sample of FCV games to confirm your conclusion.

Note, watching one off YouTube video and or some subset of games isn’t enough to confirm your hypothesis in either case, as coaches and players adjust their tactics per opponent, and the specific performance against a given opponent, which may look completely different depending on the strength and tactics of the given opponent, can easily shift a viewers perceptions of the subject team’s playing style and proficiency.   This would be true for either subject case, your club or FCV.

Let’s give you the benefit of the doubt with the statement on your club, even though I highly doubt you have truly observed training across every team in such an analytical way.  Can you explain your credentials to make the claim that FCV does not adhere to training to a specific style or brand of soccer across their teams and age groups?   You already admitted to being with a different club, so I’m very curious how you have the time and credentials to come to this conclusion.

PP, I know what it's like to lose. To feel, so desperately, that you're right, yet to fail, nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. But I ask you, to what end? Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or, should I say... I am.

Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I'm the one who stopped that. Do you know what's happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It's a paradise.

Little one, it's a simple calculus. This universe is finite, it's resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction! I'm the only one who knows that... at least, I'm the only one with the will to act on it.

Titan was like most planets. Too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.

But random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike. They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass. With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers and they would all cease to exist. I call that mercy. And then I'd finally rest, and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe.
