At most his development is 1/3rd DA. Another 1/3rd is genetics/his parents instruction and his own hard work; the remaining 1/3rd the training opportunities his parents sought abroad. Great that he's doing well, but USSF needs to stop using his as the DA poster boy. He's an exception to the rule both in terms of accomplishments but also path to success.

Exactly ! DA is not the way , (insert kids currently league) is the way !!!
And there are probably 2-3 former DA products in the pipeline , heading over to England
But yeah let’s scrap the DA and focus on getting HS coaches to prepare them for world football during the kickball , I mean high school season , just cause you do t have access to DA or aren’t good enough
Da shoUld not be used to describe a talented player. A good player can play anywhere .and he or she will shine wherever ..just like a good golfer..he can play with a broom handle and win..let's stop using this Scam business as a way of saying if it wasn't for da he wouldn't be where he is...guarantee I he played on a CDL team he still would be where he is today..he was born with a gift and has worked hard..let's stop with the Da ****

Disagree , at least da tries to gather some sort of talent for these kids that have a daddy coach or a European passport to compete against while they head over to Europe
Imagine da superstars playing CDL , he would either get injured by the brutes or completely dominate and never improve in a team/game setting
But yeah DA has a lot to improve but it’s the best we have right now
Look at what’s happening in the South American leagues - they are becoming what we are - pay to play except for the youth teams sponsored by some pro teams
A good player needs to find a good coach and a supportive team to stay with no matter what league it is..and if people think the da is the only way to be noticed later then you all are surely mistaken ..that's horse ****. Thats all part of the scam..fooling you into believing thats the only route..we played DA and it was a complete waste ..terrible coaching and a format out of a book..good coaching comes from the heart not from a book..A licenses don't make you a good coach.. personality and passion makes you good. Problem I see in youth soccer is not a lack of talent ,but a lack of coaching...so all you DA huggers need to really look at the big picture..and lastly look at our national team.. They are horrible..Hmm product of Da.?

Sorry I just disagree with the whole DA way...too me it's nothing more then a higher level kick ball club...no pass n move ..no left foot and all about let's send the biggest fasted non tech players to the ball..and most of all too much dribbling..sorry it's a **** show..maybe up north it's differant but here in Florida it's terrible...that's not how my son plays or is taught..I truly think also this DA is nothing more to feed the ego of parents and not the child..
We will never be good at soccer - like Argentina , Italy , Germany - they live and breath soccer - most teens today are waiting for the Bama LSU game lol
So to have 1–2 kids make it to the cusp every couple of years is great
