[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hahaha i'm a troll AND work for ASA now...amazing!  Yeah no one moves in or out of DC...especially in the summer on 3-4 year rotations.

Thanks for all the feedback so far.  I think all clubs have problems so that is no surprise to me.  Their teams struggling at the moment is concerning, though.  [/quote]

I wouldn't listen to the "struggling" posts...poster wouldn't know (U14 and below not published).  Re: U15-19...only one MLSN age group is clearly struggling, but the mid-Atlantic division is tough.[/quote]

well, if records are important to your picking a team for your kid, you can easily find how ASA is doing in U13 and 14 by looking at schedule, so what's above is not totally accurate.  Poster could absolutely know if they looked up ASA's schedule.[/quote]

Records are important to me because I believe better teams get more eyes on them.  But it isn't the only way and not the only consideration.  Development, mentorship, history of academy/D1 placements...all important too.[/quote]

If your kid is an outstanding or exceptional player in this area.
Everyone of consequence knows. 
So will scouts and recruiters.

You only place this much focus on the team winning if you're hoping it gives your kid's profile a lift.
Bad news. It doesn't

Scouts and recruiters know there are duds on winning teams and diamonds on losing teams. [/quote]

"You only place this much focus on the team winning if..."  Calm down son.  I made a logical and factual statement that better teams get more eyes on them.  Not every player can be so good that they stand out at all moments.  Sometimes they need a break or the right person to be present.  It's a competitive world out there and you take any competitive edge you can get.  Unless of course you are Cavan Sullivan's parent.[/quote]

Then go join a top team

Once again, all exceptional players stand out. 
Cavan Sullivan doesn't stand out at all moments in every game. No one does.

But he doesn't need to be on a winning team for soccer knowledgeable people to see he's exceptional. [/quote]

Haha ok bud...just crank it down a level eh?  Like imagine that there are parents of kids who aren't the absolute standout player, but are still in the mix on a team in the top youth league in America.  You following?  These kids are already better than about 99% of youth soccer players in America.  Sometimes kids just need a break and can crack on from there.  More eyes can provide a break.  Not hard to follow my guy.  Or are you the type to write off 14-year-olds because they aren't the best kid in the US?  Probably because you are bitter about your own kid....[/quote]

You introduced Cavan Sullivan to the discussion then are asking to crank it down a level

What is this more eyes stuff?
If you're living on a hope and a prayer that your kid is going to have a Rudy Ruettiger movie scenario, the odds are way against you.

Its not how many eyes see the kid, it's the kid doing the right things and the right eyes and ears will know. [/quote]
