[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Yeah, my DC plays in the high level leagues and is being recruited by all divisions.

My DC doesn't remember games, scores, standing and quite frankly, the kids don't talk soccer much in their chatting. They are normal teenagers that talk teenagers stuff. They just happen to be very good at soccer and continue to play.

As for the development discussion, kids develop at wildly different speeds. Some kids who are dominant at the younger ages don't continue at that pace...they peak earlier. Some peak later, some continue to improve. That is why coaches should spread time among the players at U12 or so and below and worry less about winning and more about devleopment.[/quote]

So true.

I saw the little dynamo player that has been playing up for as long as I can remember at my son's U13 practice last night.  He is fat and out of shape and no longer the mega super start he was when he came to the club at age 8.  It's a disgrace.  He should no longer be playing up, much less be on the first team.  I think the new Coach finally sees it and did not play him as much the first few scrimmages and of course the parents and kid are having a sh*t fit.

Development is very tricky.  I have a U16 that was always overlooked but persevered (had to move around to find places willing to invest in him as a player) and now is a top player on one of the top teams.  His 7-inch growth spurt over the past year also helped.
