[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it could be helpful with development at the younger years, longer term this system can be used to screen your kid out for recruiting purposes based on some stats determined by the system.

People learn how to manipulate systems. If stats are being publicly posted, I'd worry. I am sure there is a reason they are starting it at U-13-14.  I'm wary unless there is a way to better understand data privacy.

I honestly respect this opinion. But I have a different view:

1) If individual and team stats are not shared with anyone and are not actionable, then they cannot improve development. Right now all Taka is doing is saying that Team 1 plays a more attractive style than Team 2, even though their records (W-D-L) might disagree. But if you ask Taka to explain why they reached their conclusion, their response is basically "trust me bro". I don't find this approach very satisfying.

2) If these stats are useful then players and teams should 100% try to manipulate them! Because it should mean that improving these stats results in better players and better teams! If they do not, then it means that these stats do not translate into on field performance and they should be revised. The whole point of measuring something is that you can work to change those measurements.

I understand and agree that it would be wrong to have the individual stats of a 13 year old publicly available. But it would be useful to see the stats for MY 13 year old, and to see how they compare against the average player in his position, and more importantly what parts of his game are good and bad based on their rating.[/quote]
