[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very small sample size - so take with a grain of salt - but NOVA has a similar reputation in terms of burn out/intensity as NCAP. These top programs likely aren’t doing anything magical; they’re practicing more than other clubs and they attract the strongest kids and coaches. It all adds up to strong cohorts and fast kids. [/quote] +1, and the burnout at these clubs is sometimes just not being able to keep pace with the large number of fast kids. There are a lot of kids that start before they are 9 that “burnout” by age 12-13 because they get passed by more athletic/talented kids that didn’t start until 9-10. When you start off at the top of the heap it’s a hard pill to swallow when you settle in at the BB level as an 11-12 or 13-14, and a lot of kids just bail at that point. [/quote]
