The center mid is moving to argentina, definitely a big loss for the club, but might be the best for his career. The third national player is with a cast since last June.

By the way is not my kid, they play together at Weston, I just have a lot of respect for anyone that can compete at a national level and hate people that put down others success, specially when it comes from anonymous big mouths !

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgreed! Its likely those poor parents whose kids did not make the academy teams coming on these boards stirring up the pot, trashing teams. FL academies are moving in the right direction trying to do things the right way and pull in and develop the top talent across the state. Tryouts are next June...see you then...

All players who hit puberty relatively early are extremely fortunate to have thus gained a huge advantage over their peers and no one is holding their temporary advantage against them (in fact it's quite the opposite, they benefit tremendously from that accident of circumstance). They should be grateful and take full advantage of opportunities made available to them before their peers hit puberty and they no longer have that physical advantage as the difference maker. That's why it's really, really difficult to project what a player will become until after puberty. Notice how only a fraction of the kids on past U14 YNTs are ever heard of again after the U17 age group? Make the most of the temporary advantage.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postyes indeed. heading in the right direction. finally. good to see and glad we decided to get on board. very different than club soccer the whole way things are done and its nice to see the professionalism and lack of parent control. that is the worst part of youth soccer at most clubs and the DA for the most part is not influenced in this way. i like it. its good for the parents and especially good for the kids. development is happening and will continue to happen and those not on board or still against it will be way behind and may never catch up.

It was a statement of objective fact ... if we're talking about the same kid he's big for his age relative to his peers, that's all it's not a put down (in contrast to you putting down kids--midget--who go through puberty later), it's a reality in reference to weight and height percentiles.

Not knocking it or him, just pointing out a fact. And my earlier point still remains that the overwhelming majority of past U14 YNT players are never heard from again at the national, pro, or even semi-pro level after U17, again a statement of fact. Early puberty opens doors, but they frequently are slammed shut after peers go through puberty. Just make the most of these early opportunities and good luck.
