The difference in quality is that stark.

You searched for an old DCU Academy thread to post that the DCU teams are winning games at an end of season Championship Tournament but that winning is proof of a lack of development because teams don't go to a Championship Tournament to win games

How much of a stalking obsessed sad pitiful little self-hating loser are you?

Huh? I just thought it was interesting to see the games. And yes, winning doesn't equal development. DCU seems to be bad at both things.

Which club or team goes to their league's championship tournament without intentions to win?
Are you so blinded by bias and ignorance you don't even know your statements are ridiculous

Yup, every team winning games is against development, because apparently there can't be individual development happening while winning lol
Only losing teams focus on development haha

Every team goes to a tournament to win the tournament. No sh#t genius. The difference is that this is ALL DCU focuses on ALL YEAR - winning the games above all else. Including the development of the players. Most other academies are trying to win within the framework of their development philosophy. DCU doesn't and DCU doesn't even have a development philosophy. Just set up some cones and they will learn on their own. Let people that know what they are talking about speak about football. You've got a long way to go before you become relevant.

How'd you get your hands on the internal memos re:philosophy of dcu and all other academies?
Are you in attendance at all dcu and other academies training sessions all year round?
How do you track the development progress of each player at dcu and all other academies? What's your methodology and metrics?
Can you share all that data with the forum?

Is that what you do full-time for a living? Track other people's kids at clubs where you have no affiliation, except maybe a previous rejection

Like I've said in previous posts...I'm connected. You're not. You learn from me.

Should be renamed WHY DC UNITED IS ONE OF THE WORST MLS ACADEMIES IN THE COUNTRY

The thread supports that conclusion.

They say to bring your kid in for a fifth look lol

DCU couldn't pay me to put my kid in their program. There is more than soccer being taught in these years. DCU isnt even teaching soccer. Imagine what they are teaching the kids about how to be solid young men. Absolutely NOTHING

This is the musings of one person at this point. I would not call these the musings of a solid young man or solid old man so we cannot really blame DCU unless you are a DCU product yourself.

DCU does not care about your kid. I get it.

Your kid did not make it but they are living in your head rent-free. It is their business how they run their academy. I don’t have a constitutional right to a free academy. If they have cracked the code on how to develop a first time roster with no academy’s, God Bless Them!

And I give no sh#ts whether DCU cares or not. Because the reality is, they don't care about you or your son and you can't change that. What is important is that parents (the focus of this forum) have the right information to make good decisions about their son's future in football and can make educated decisions about DCU (not blindly following the crowd not understanding the realities of the situation like you did). Only someone who has no focus and isn't actually paying attention would think that someone would write here with DCU as the target audience.

DCU is in fact irrelevant in the youth soccer system and They aren't changing. But what can change is how people on this forum and online perceive the club. Because as has been proven over and over again, DCU is not what people think it is and it isn't going to get any better. Only worse.
