    I think that is a really good article.

    Having said that, we don't know that abolishing standings accelerates development or drives enjoyment of the sport. Here is a u12 team playing very good soccer, seeming to have lots of fun, in a high-pressure (socal state cup) environment: https://youtu.be/DThjb_XyyoU

    Plenty of loud-mouthed coaches in that video. Would be interested to compare how many of those kids are still playing soccer 6-years later v. players who play in an environment that is more nurturing. If I have the age right, believe a couple of the players in that video are playing Galaxy 2 (one might be playing on Mexican youth national team).

      A nuanced take on the importance of "winning": https://www.canofootball.com/article...ugh-diversity/

      Club starting focusing on producing players of a certain style, as opposed to "win at all cost", but doesn't mean competing isn't important:

      “We have been misinterpreted with this winning thing a lot. People think “OK, Malmö don’t care about winning anymore” and that is the biggest misunderstanding you can find. We want our players to be really competitive and feel the need to win; this is football after all!"
