Maybe who is replacing her can have a broader vision and change the country club network
existent now. Good bye. Good riddance.

I think AH weakness was in being unable to establish consensus, but to be fair to her , the ECNL board are just as arrogant and had no desire to work with anyone unless they were in charge.
Rock and hard place.

And this is no defense of the ECNL. That was what they need to improve on and they basically just replicated it almost whole hog.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostUs soccer is perhaps the only organization with any leverage to try to change the system. rather then change anything - they doubled down with an even more super deluxe. super exclusive country club soccer league - the GDA. Wasted very opportunity to try to get some improvement. Who knows if girls and woman's soccer can recover.

Let ECNL be the club organization at the top nationally. Instead of replicating it, work with them. I know easier said than done but start with baby steps. A bunch of the big clubs already have ties to USS so it could happen.
USS then should spend their money on creating more depth evaluating talent across the country and developing those that show promise in their system.

Now it's about deploying the players' parents on each side to push the message and see who wins....

ECNL has plenty of organization weaknesses (can we get past the era of showcases - with the quality of video these days, no way as necessary as it was before), but telling late to the party, heavy-handed bureaucrats to pound sand was the right play here.
