[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And with all this development Loudoun has the worst record in ECNL among Virginia clubs.  At some point development must translate into wins.  If it does not, development mantra is an excuse for incompetence.  Loudoun' performance in ECNL shows that the only thing the club developed is the culture of losing.[/quote]

"Culture" of losing cannot be defined by one or even two years.   That implies a seriously long period of time which has not happened yet.  As has been said by others, many of Loudoun's top players after U12 have left for other ECNL clubs in the past.  Now that they have ECNL, they only real threat is some leaving for DA.  On the development point, it's defined by individual players and teams getting BETTER, not necessarily winning.  If skillsets and athleticism on a given team is relatively low compared to others in the same league, a team can develop and  never win, but they may make 0-8 results into 0-1 or 2 results by the end of the year.  That wouldn't meet your definition of development because the team wouldn't have won a game, but it is.   To gauge that kind of effect over time takes several years, not one or two.[/quote]

+1.  Besides, the younger teams are doing better, which supports what you are saying.  The data says it will improve as time goes on.  [/quote]
