TOO MANY "I"S ON THE TEAM?
THEN THE COACH ISN'T DOING HIS/HER JOB!
It's not the best team that always wins. It's the team that plays best together that is most often successful! A team of solid, but average players who work well together and play as a tight knit unit will consistently beat a team of above average players who are selfish and self-promoting. So what do you do if you find yourself surrounded by selfish, limelight seekers? WAKE UP THE COACH!
The coach is the architect and builder of a winning team. In my humble opinion, it's the coach's job to step in and re-educate the selfish players about what teamwork and winning is really all about. When a coach looks the other way in the face of selfish behavior and/or rewards these selfish players with preferential treatment and playing time, he/she will be mainly responsible for the team's consistent underachievement.
Successful programs across every sport and at every level have been able to teach their players that winning can only be achieved when everyone plays their particular role as assigned by the coach for the good of the team. It's a pretty basic concept that team success means that the individual must sacrifice his/her own needs and ego for the good of the group. A player may think that being a showboat or prima-donna might mean that he/she's an exceptional talent and better than everyone else, but what it really means is that this player lacks a basic understanding of the game.
Good coaches always bench selfish players and start team-oriented players, regardless of their talent because they know that the team can't be successful when these big egos are on the court or field. The coach who ignores this principal and gives the better, selfish athletes more playing time is making a deal with the devil. Why? Because a selfish, "better" player is not really better for the team! On the contrary! He/she is a serious liability!
A high school senior point guard recently related a story of how the sophomore, starting point guard pouted and fumed at the end of the bench when the coach took him out and replaced him with the senior. Instead of using this experience as a teaching opportunity to promote the value and importance of teamwork, the coach very quickly pulled the senior and put the pouting sophomore back into the game. GREAT MESSAGE FOR THE KID AND THE REST OF THE TEAM!!!!!!! BE SELF-CENTERED AND YOU'LL GET TO PLAY FOR ME!
Great teams can only become great when they play together, when everyone has a role and plays that role to the best of their ability for the good of the team. There is no room for big egos and selfish behavior on a championship team and it's up to the coach to quickly set limits on this kind of team disrupting, immature behavior.

What does any of this have to do with Vda?
Personally, I don't see a specific VDA connection, but as a general thought that includes VDA by default, wins and losses, in league, showcase, friendlies, or whatever else that are close games within a goal, the presumption should be good competition and an even match.
Why was there so many VDA 06 players at the FCV tryouts? if VDA 06 is so good why not stay at VDA. Does the club know they are unhappy? As a FVC 06 parent this is so telling that VDA is still on its way down-hill. it is laughable.
How many is “so” many? 3?
3 is a lot when we are talking about some of your top players, No?
Would VDA care of losing those 3 players that believe and dream they’re NT material? or would VDA care more about keeping +20 other ones with more realistic expectations?
VDA would be okay with those kids leaving. Have fun with the throwaways.
Those players were at FCV to get the new VDA director’s attention. They’re not going anywhere. Good try FCV Dad.
You want to get MW attention? Listen to his training, play outstanding soccer and have a great soccer IQ. He does not care when parents say they are going to leave, he knows how good he is and he knows he can get new talent if he needs.

There is no violation to report. The kids just need to finish their season at BRYC and then they can do whatever they want.

DP, not an ODP fan. It's glory days are long over. However, I am still amazed at some die hard fans. This one parent I know is obsessed with it and tried to get me to pull my DA/ECNL player out to free her up for ODP. No way

1. The local “National Team Centers” are not ”National” or “Team” related “Centers”. They are local training sessions with local coaches. If your kid has gone (mine has), then thank your team coach. It’s a joke. People must stop confusing a Camp with a Center. Huge difference.
2. Plenty of ECNL kids go to the local NTC. Here’s the kicker...the DA coaches are using the local NTC to recruit the ECNL players to DA (which is their mission).
3. Locally, FCV is using the Centers as their personal recruiting Centers. NTCs are being run at Evergreen under the supervision of US Scouts (FCV staff) who then tell the ECNL players to move to DA for a chance of a NT Camp. I know for a fact this is happening.
3. The local ECNL clubs are trying to combat this by bending over backwards to give the players what they want. Insert parent politics.
Here is reality. Your kid has a 99.9999999999 percent chance of smelling the bench of a YNT let along the USWNT.
Why do you think the majority of YNT members come from the DA? USSF FORCES those players to leave their ECNL club and join their local DA (if one is available) when they get chosen for the YNT.
Get it?
I repeat
All YNT members must leave their ECNL club if chosen..that’s why you think that they all come from DA when in reality they don’t.
It is really about where they end up playing that matters. If they stay at ECNL they will no longer be invited.
Nothing worse than rookie parents. They’re either overly aggressive with the propaganda or gullible.
Get invited where? The fake VA training center? Lol. I know parents who use personal trainers, who are also US Scouts, and mysterious get an NTC invite based on their recommendations.
Here’s is counter sales pitch.
You kid, just like 99.9 percent of the kids at FCV, are not getting a Camp call up.
So trueeee! recruiters that are privately training some players made parents and players believe they are the best ones. They nominate these players to these fake NTCs. Same recruiters have also stake in the nominated players team. These players appear in the teams propaganda, get 100% play time and stick to their desired positions.
