[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are delusional. Everybody thinks their kid is the next big thing—but at some point, you’ve got to be honest about the level they’re actually at.

Not every player is elite, and that’s okay. But pretending otherwise doesn’t help the kid—it just creates noise.

Programs like D.C. United’s academy aren’t perfect, but they exist for a reason: they identify and develop top-level talent. Most players there earned it.

And let’s be real—some of the loudest criticism comes from people who didn’t make it in and never got over it.

Support your kid. Believe in them. But keep one foot in reality.

DCU does not identify and develop top level talent.  This is where your note is mistaken...they don't identify or develop talent with any level of consistency or success. Wish that wasn't the case but it is what it is. [/quote]

The only mls club that consistently produces high level professionals hasn't been invented yet

Unless they are sneaking them out of the country under aliases every transfer window [/quote]

Some MLS clubs are just way better equipped to produce pros than others.  Their foundation and methodology is just stronger and the investments they have made are positioning for longer term success, modelling European academies.   DCU is just not one of those clubs.

DCU is one of the worst academies you could attend in the MLS ecosystem. FACTS. Please don't try to advance the, if they all aren't producing high level pros, they are all the same argument.  It's like saying the Netherlands and the US are the same at football because they have both never won world cups.  Just doesn't work.  [/quote]

Where are the MLS club academies churning out high level professionals consistently?

Stupid analogy with the Netherlands, because they have some of the world's best academies that produce high level professionals consistently. The USA MLS academies do not.
Not a single one[/quote]

How many pros has DCU signed to the first team from the academy in the last 3-4 years? How many players has DCU signed to pro deals for their second team?  That answer is easy ZERO.  They don't have a second team or MLS next pro team like pretty much ALL other MLS academies.  All you need to know.  Just focus on DCU.  The other MLS academies are in a different league. [/quote]

Philly Union knowingly keeping a racist on the payroll and in a leadership role sure is in a different league I'd say[/quote]

When you have no quality, throw mud on everyone else to make yourself look better.

Can't defend Philly Union on this but the reality is that this doesn't make DCU any better.  Sorry.[/quote]

DCU kids and Philly Union kids gonna all end up same places

College

With less than .5% making it to a professional career [/quote]

Less than 1 percent of ALL players in ALL academies WORLDWIDE turn pro.  So they are all bad I guess using your logic.  Dumb...[/quote]
