New Girls DA Clubs Announced

You have a strange definition of "narrow minded" given that I appear to be the only one here who thinks that deep knee bends aren't the only thing people should consider as a means to limit the risk of a serious knee injury. You have a strange definition of "narrow minded" if you think "rules are rules" and therefore everyone should just STFU and do what USSF says regardless of how stupid, dangerous or irrational.
Yes, I am so narrow-minded that I provided study after study, article after article, so that thoughtful people can do their own research and reach their own conclusions. I even invited people including yourself to provide studies that contradict what I'm saying. You can't. Makes you wonder who's really narrow-minded....

When @push_up sees you as a “winner” enough said!

I’ve never disagreed with the studies, only your application of a small portion of those studies and trying to apply to your rhetoric while ignoring the parts that contradict it. That is my definition of being narrowminded!

Your rhetoric is repetitive, biased, and hateful. Speaking to you is like talking to a cracked mirror. Jaded and with a skewed image. Nothing different can ever be presented to you if it does not agree with your distorted sensibility. All the studies/claims/accusations that you have been presented can be easily manipulated to accuse any league of the same things you continue to make here. It's all how you package it and not difficult at all. I am sure you will counter with the same points, but its not your decision. It's my kids. She declined ECNL. And, for great reasons. Thank goodness she does not need to deal with pessimistic and negative ideas spewing from individuals such as yourself, otherwise she would quit the game. Only the game means something to me and her. And your idea of it is ruined.

I'm not sure that talking to a cracked mirror is any different than talking to a regular one. It's weird either way, and I suggest you speak with a mental health expert if the mirror is talking back, especially one with my jaded and skewed image. I mean, a mirror always looks like it's talking back, but don't let that fool you even for a second.

If you have a study that says playing 90 straight minutes does not substantially increase the risk of an ACL tear, or a study that contradicts anything I've said here, there is literally nothing stopping you from pointing it out. Apparently you'll never know whether my mind can be changed if someone presents a contrary study because it seems you can't do it no matter how many times I ask you or mock you for your inability to do so. Dude, step up to the plate. Find a relevant passage in a study that contradicts what I'm saying, post it here, and let's see what happens. Just make sure it's from someone with more expertise than a Mt. Olive grad student ok?

Good one trying to paint me as a threat to ruin your daughter's love of soccer. If you think I have a skewed attitude, just wait until you talk to the other parents about having to fly to Las Vegas to beat a glorified rec team. And then to Placer and probably Salt Lake City in an effort to prop up the failed NW division.

If you have a study that says playing 75 straight minutes does not substantially increase the risk of an ACL tear, but 90 minutes does, I'm with you. If it is a long study, please direct me to the relevant passages. I'll be waiting eagerly . . . probably forever.

Obviously you missed the point on the mirror. That's fine, I should have realized that. Again back to your same old points. I don't need to step up to the plate. I am not arguing your point. But you are fixated on them. Rather questioning your wraith and lashing out against others who question you. I don't need help. You do. So, traveling to Arizona and playing ECNL teams is any different? Where did you come up Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and the North West? None of those apply.

I have done both my knees playing less than that...does that count?:D

GDA also has every game filmed. Seems small, but its a huge plus. Parents don't have to travel, but still get to see every game. It's also an excellent tool to help a kid improve. ECNL should implement this requirement. I'm sure it will once one of the club directors forms a video company that ECNL will then mandate all clubs use. ;)

some of the videos were really bad and couldn't really see the game. Maybe they could have just zoomed in a bit so the players don't look like ants on the field. Often completely useless for any type of highlight reel.

So your club contracted a terrible video guy? That’s half the games. Why didn’t you say something to the club?

Surf is the worst. They use that terrible video tracking software. The rest have been ok to great.

The purpose of the videos is not for highlight reels, it is to be able to review the tactical aspects of the game. You need to be able to see most of the players in order to see positioning and off the ball movement.

It took US TV directors a long time to figure out how to show NHL games, what with the US sport tradition of focusing on just the player with the ball (or puck).

I was at a bar a while back and they were showing a SD Gulls game. At one point I turned to my wife and exclaimed "I saw the puck!". Hockey may be a great game, but optically soccer is much easier to watch since you can almost always see the ball.
