And I disagree that they need to learn a lot before the instruction is meaningful, or they can use it. Learning should be iterative. They learn a skill, and then put it to use in a game and learn to be competitive with that new skill. After they are competitive with that skill, you teach them another skill, and the process repeats. If they aren't winning with their new skills, then they don't understand it well enough and need to work on it more until they do. And as they play, the skills that you're not focusing on continue to grow.
The games should be their laboratory to learn to WIN with the skills they've learned. Because that's ultimately what the skills are for. Skills are taught to the kids so they can use those skills to help them win. So why not emphasize that?
In my experience, when kids are winning, they are very motivated to learn new skills because winning feels good and they want to keep experiencing that feeling. If kids are losing, they lose motivation. They play soccer to have fun. If it's not fun, it's just work. 1000 touches to a motivated kid are more beneficial than 1000 touches to an unmotivated kid.
I love coaches who stand and scream the whole game. If they did not learn in before kickoff it is to late.

Anyone who wants your kids to play soccer should just pack up and move to Europe because the USSF doesn't care about winning. If they did we would have all of our players playing in other countries. Instead of building our own league training Coaches and building a program that works in other countries..... Great argument Retard!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThanks. And on behalf of all the mentally challenged kids out there, I'd like to especially thank you for making their handicap and insult. Very classy. Take a look at reality. If you want to learn to become a great chef, do you go to a cooking school here, or go to the Cordon Blue school in Paris? The simple fact of the matter is that Brooks, Yeldin, and a host of other players play overseas for a reason - they want exposure to better teams and better players. Your argument about making America's players better is non-sensical - someone has to provide the competition and training, and with USSF being the cluster f**ck it is, the only solution is to train players and coaches overseas and have them bring what the learned back and teach it to our kids, while at the same time sending our younger players overseas to face better competition.

The real issue is, us, the parents. Face it, not a single poster's kid will play professionally or for the national team. Stop believing the bs your coach and club tells you about you having the next messi and make sure you kid is having fun.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhen the sandbox is filled with the neighbor cat's sh*t then yes you should go play in someone else's sandbox. If the US system and pro teams can't develop talent the way they can overseas, then go overseas. Otherwise we'll be stuck in an endless cycle of mediocrity. We can still continue to build things here, but clearly it's a long process. Pro players not can't wait another 20 years for the US to maybe finally get it right.
