Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's exactly my point and the crux of the issue. Competition is needed for development. However, winning games is not. See the difference?
If at age 7, everybody wins, then why bother to try? Why not allow the best kids to compete at a higher level than the weaker kids? It doesn't matter who wins. But keep score because the kids do. Compete every week for a spot on the best teams.
Since game results on a regular basis wouldn't matter using my model (meaning no formalization), let everyone play different positions. For the 'real games', (monthly for younger ages?) match teams by level on a regular basis so the competition is always high.
Then go play in tournaments to win once in a while.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostVery true. They also shouldn't restrict playing against local competition. If there's a quality local team to play they should play them. Restrictive sub rules are anti development. Yes PT should be earned but some players never play and their development can flatline. Of course USSF doesn't care about more than a few 100.players nation wide. So then they should either take Developmentout of their name or pull the ones they care aboutand train them separately

Dad coaches are the minority. There may be good and bad, but overall quality is up exponentially over just a few years ago.
It is still the responsibility of the athlete to better themselves. They are far too busy to devote the time and effort needed. Until this changes, it is status quo.
