The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Very true. Even most of the top kids around here don't live and breathe soccer like other areas or countries. The Revs coaches have to work with what they get, and generally do a great job.

Not so far.

Revolution Supa Stars!

Meet the whiners. They degrade kids and attempt to derail clubs that don't consistently treat their progeny like they were the coaches kids. What failures they turned out to be. The club and kids they target are changed once more but their rants are the still the same they had for 5 years. "Chosen ones" "coaches have preferences" "my kids deserve to be the stars or the club and coaches are wrong. You need some cheese to go with that.

players flatline for all kinds of reasons. It's a cop out to blame the coaches for that. Only a few players make it to D1 schools and an even tinier fraction go pro. This isn't FC Dallas where the entire soccer population in the dallas/ft worth area lives and breathes soccer. people in new england favor education much more that the slim pickins a soccer career would provide.

It's a cop out to blame the culture as a reason kids flatline under the Revs coaching. Good coaches keep kids motivated.

Why would you post videos? Weirdo.

Even worse actually. Coaches are "lifeless zombies" and "walking dead" who "step into their crappy cars" and on and on. What a bunch of entitled Newton sh:theads. Revs knew what they were getting with this bunch but took a gamble anyway. Why did they think it would change? Can't wait for the June cuts.

Cut the crap. You have no idea who is posting what.

some (arguably many) are motivated. But it's not just the coaches who need to keep them motivated - that's not their primary job. Kids get motivated in different ways from many sources.

It's part of the weeding out process at the Revs. No need for coaches to babysit the players at this age, they either have the drive within or don't.

That's not the point. The players are all eager to play good soccer.

There are more 03 and 02 revs videos that ever....thanks to ex Valeo parents. Ask them why they post

I meant why did that guy feel the need to post a link to other people's videos on here.
Though....likely a crazy Valeo nonRevs parent.

Maybe those parents should view their videos before posting on youtube. That video does nothing but show how poor their training is. Are we supposed to be jealous? Seriously?

You really don't understand the Revs dev model. Come back in about 26 months and you will see one third of them playing not "good" but exceptional soccer. Sounds like your kid is the other two thirds, either because of lack of skill or because of attitude issues.

The "guy" are the very same parents who post on here incessantly whining about the coaches and perplexed as to why their kids are unmotivated.

But you already knew that ;)

This is the new model of advertisement. Promote nonsensical sh1t3 and expect people to gobble it up. Only get to do that if you become the boss. Kraft better watch out for you.

Exceptional, no. A little better maybe. Watching the first team is like watching paint dry.
