Danny A Game's tryout advice

[Unregistered]

Dont know why so much hate towards Danny. Soooo many top players went through his program and got alot out of it. I don't think Agame is meant to make the complete player but it does provide a great environment for your kid to get creative touches on the ball. If you dont like his program for your kid then don't go.

That’s because he tells the truth like the post he put out there. The $ hungry academies do not want people to know the truth so they can keep collecting $$$. Plain and simple. Kudos to Danny for having the courage to tell people the real deal.

Totally agree with this post - if you don’t like his training don’t go. My kid gets so much out of it and I can see the results when she plays games w her club. Maybe your child just doesn’t get it or doesn’t mesh with him...different strokes for different folks!

Think this explains it well. It seems one of his friends took offense and called him out. Gives the perspective of the full time soccer professional. This is all very self serving and transparent.

Danny A-game I am gonna have to jump on with ........... on this pal. This post is going to be harsh and I apologize, it not personal you know I love you man! But you went to far this time.

I am so disappointed in you have come out on this. You have been apart of this overworked underpaid world. We spoke about it a couple months ago, I don’t get why you attack EVERYONE to promote yourself. You are amazing at what you do, your focus should be on what you do and how well you do it. Not bashing everyone who promotes you and tells their kids to go see you.

You say simple maths and again as a business owner I am disappointed in your simple misconception. And I am sure any parent who owns a business sees through your lack of transparency on your simple math equations. What about taxes, what about overhead such as goals, equipment and other items needed, what about marketing, what about the cost of office space, what about cost of admin staff? Do those bills not get paid in all your numbers you are throwing out at people, or do you not pay any of those bills?

Any number and situation can be manipulated to make something look bad Danny. In no way is this a dig, I am just giving an example like you have.
You have a small facility big enough for maybe two rondos but you cram 20+ kids in (just going off the math in all your posts, you have over a 100 kids a night with 5 coachable hours). Your facility should really only host no more than 10. You are operating at over 100% your capacity, doubling your profits and making thousands of dollars a night by cramming kids in. If your average kid pays $20 a head you make $2,500 a night. Let’s say you do 5 nights a week (from your posts you 7 and weekends are nearly double the hours but we won’t count them, so this number doesn’t skyrocket) you make $12,500 a week. Your average class is around 10-12 weeks. That’s a $125k a season you make...personally by overpopulating your sessions by putting 20+ kids in a 4v4 sized field. Not including summer or any other camps you run Danny or stuff at other locations. You will run 4 of these 10 week sessions, you are making half a million dollars in your pocket from these same families that are ‘paying’ their clubs and coaches too much. You are literally making a fortune off the back of all these people too, in fact a bigger fortune than anyone. And even if you are charging $10 a head it’s still a quarter of a million you are pocketing. THATS OVER 5x as much as the coaches you have just been blasting on here!

These kids only do 1 hour with you and you make that much money from them, vs the average hard working coach who misses family events, kids birthdays, family funerals all for 40k-50k a year and you are making 5-10x that and have the audacity to attack them! The average coach works for hours after they leave the field to educate themselves, works with kids for free, give them advice, no one sees the extra 10-15 hours off the field from the 20 hours you have kindly pointed out. They don’t get paid for that, they don’t ask for more money from parents. This is the average honest working coach, who literally gives up their life to educate kids. You clearly have a problem with one or two clubs and a handful of coaches, be a man and call them out, don’t be a coward and attack the average coach that works for less than a month of your salary. These same coaches, pay for education out of their own pocket, seminars and coaching licenses, when was the last time you done any sort of education to improve yourself?

The average kid in my club pays less an hour to be with us than they do with you. We are less than a baby sitters hourly rate when you divide the hours vs cost.

You then talk about and embarrass families and players that go compete in third and 4th brackets. How rude and who the f**k do you think you are to do that. So what because the kid isn’t as talented as the top 1% he or she shouldn’t get those experiences. Should get the feeling of what it is like to travel and play in other places. The kids don’t just travel for the soccer, they build experiences that last forever, they have fun, a mini vacation and play the sport the love with all their hearts. But because they aren’t the 1% you put them down for traveling or trying to have as much of an experience as the other kids. Parents, kids and coaches make these decisions together, they only go if they all want to go. Soccer is for everyone not the 1% of talent. Again you attack the clubs and coaches, these tournaments and leagues offer this and when they offer it the people who want to play, go play. You should maybe attack the leagues and not the clubs.

You come after coaches and clubs. But you keep silent about leagues or tournaments. Edp tournaments 12 years ago were $500 they are now $1,200. Club prices didn’t increase that much in this time, so who is taking advantage of who?

In the end you are saying you are educating parents, but in reality Danny you are not. Your filling their head with misinformation that has a headline and no substance. You are no worse than a tabloid front cover story. You are doing the exact same thing as the clubs you are trying to attack, which in turns make you no better than them, when you sit their in your high horse (or ivory toilet) thinking you are way better than everyone, but in turn your no different to the guys you are attacking. You are making huge profits off the same kids.

Maybe analyze and think before attacking the community that makes you a fortune every year. I have no doubt you have pissed off a lot of people who support you, because you **** yourself to call out the actual people you have beef with.

Educate your players and families, don’t fill their head with nonsense. You are way better than this as a person! Super let down by you, not that Danny I have know for the past 13 years.

Danny makes bank on all of the same kids. So what? What does his business have to do with him giving advice to parents to ask questions and not just open the check book every year to hack coaches. Parents should educate themselves on the sport and not just trust what some salesman tells you to bring your kid over to his team.

Whoa. This is the most triggered response ever. Sometimes parents need to hear this from people they trust to help reassure what they already know. Bottom line is all parents should be asking those questions before paying anyone anything. Just because they are difficult to answer for some coaches doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be asked.

Absolutely parents should ask questions about the programs they are entering. The above response was related to a post about all soccer coaches being frauds. I think that is where the upset comes from in this post. Danny is profiting from the same industry he is attacking and with it people who have probably been very loyal to him over the years. It sounds like he has a good thing going for himself but he was a train wreck in the club system so maybe he is just a little bitter. Certainly comes across that way. However parents should be able to ask questions.

When A Game starts donating his time to youth soccer improvements, maybe I will listen to him lecture on what is right or wrong in youth soccer. I know some clubs are telling their players not to train with him, and he is upset he is losing business. The truth here is that the coaches at the clubs are the ones who are putting in the work to move players where they belong. Danny is spending an hour with them a week and teaching them how to dance on a ball. That gets you only so far. __ Signed the dad of a fancy footwork player who gets knocked off the ball EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Truth! Danny exposed the corrupt system of youth soccer that is stealing clueless parents hard earned $$$.

Isn’t he part of the same corrupt system?

Did you ever wonder why guys like Danny and Shaun did not thrive in the academy world? They both keep it real and tell the truth. The corrupt system does not like too much honesty and these guys always provide it. Give em credit for exposing clubs like CSA, STA etc...

It was pay for play. If you were training on the side with AFraud you didn't come out of the game no matter how many times you lost the ball because of your selfish play.

My first guess is the clubs didn’t like litigation for verbal abuse?
