He still up in arms about Aug-Sep kids playing on age (if that's what happens) and blew up because some researched shared about college volleyball players that confirmed rae in a SY system with different school and club cutoffs. So, nothing REALLY new for this thread.

the article cited is garbage.

Heres part 2 of the study that shows exactly the opposite of what your nonsense articles without real data try to show.

"Finally, it appears that birth month (at least according to our models) has a minimal influence on the success of a player. However, while the impact was small, it was still found that players born later in the year had a positive impact in each position group’s definition of success. This is fascinating as we had determined that a much greater number of professional players are born earlier in the year, more than likely as a result of the global youth development structure."[/quote]

Guess who missed this part ... [b]This is fascinating as we had determined that a much greater number of professional players are born earlier in the year, more than likely as a result of the global youth development structure.[/b] ... So, there are still a ton FEWER players born later in the year. The reasons, not really discussed here, have to do with another theory discussed on these topics. It's called the underdog effect. Basically, the outliers tend to be great because they had to be. But it comes at a huge cost of a ton of players not making it, more so than the at the other birth months.[/quote]
