Re-entry

Under the more liberalized rules I have proposed, a coach could sub the end of the bench player for one of the stars a without worrying that he would be stuck with that player until the final whistle since he could put the star back in whenever he wanted to.

In your scenario the bench player is merely babysitting game minutes until the coach gets scared and puts the star back. That’s not a true test and the player knows it.

Not if the coach is truly interested in "developing" that player. And if he is not, why is the player on the roster at all?

A lot of the coaches I’ve been around say the development happens much more in practice. This is anywhere from club to MLS coaches.

Yes there’s obviously some decision making and improvements to be made in 11v11 or any game situation. But if your decision making and skills are not up to par in practice, you’ll get exposed in games.

It doesn’t mean these players are bad. It means they may not be up to the caliber of the level - ECNL or DA. They’d probably dominate flight one or DA2 or EGSL. This can change from week to week as Other factors include your opponents. If you’re playing Solar, you need a stronger lineup than if
You were playing against Pateadores.

When my kids were still involved in youth soccer, I heard that USSF was creating a nationwide program to develop the best players. Then I saw that they were just going to rename the best boys teams, and start the program at age 16, and then start keeping standings and rewarding the clubs and teams with the best win-loss records, I realized it was just the same old BS. Whatever my personal feeling were, I was willing to wait and watch. So now, with over 10 years passed of their supposed 10-year plan, the mens USNT failed to qualify for the World Cup. We did better than that when all we had was the original underfunded ODP program.

Your kids don’t even play but you’re still in here banging the drum? I imagine there’s a better way to spend your time with adult children no longer playing youth soccer instead of challenging everyone and everything on a youth soccer forum.

I’m curious why you are still carrying the torch?

Leave him alone, he’s entertaining.
 
Your daughter's personal experience is a pretty small sample size for an ACL risk study. It's cute you think your daughter can go hard for 90 minutes straight without a significantly increased risk of an ACL injury, and that "listening to her body" can help avoid ACL injury. Which medical study gave you that advice? Regardless, your suggestion that there are only two options, play DA without reentry or play multiple games in one day is a false choice. Is your mind really so small that you can't figure out that you shouldn't be required to do either?

Placer dad, right? I get it, you had delusions of grandeur about what the GDA would do for your daughter and irrational hopes it would allow her club to leapfrog all the other clubs in the underwhelming and rather sad Sacto soccer world. I suspect you're beginning to realize, however, that the DA is going down in flames with your daughter on board, only you aren't quite in the acceptance phase yet so you're desperately trying to convince others (but mostly yourself) that its rules are gospel. But smart people know those rules are stupid, unnecessary and potentially dangerous. That paying $10K to fly to five states plus San Diego to play teams that are worse than probably 20 NorCal clubs is insane. That anyone with half a brain and a modicum of ability is far better off at one of the local ECNL clubs. Don't worry, though, soon your daughter's club will be back in the NPL where it belongs, and you'll be making day trips to Modesto and praying Stanislaus St. got your daughter's email inviting them to scout her game against Ajax. That is, if she doesn't blow out her knee first trying to "defy the limits".

Was I close @Soccerfan2?
 
Thanks for exposing who you truly are and your agenda. Although you make a few valid points, your credibility is shot. We should have seen it when you expressed such concern over the 4 day a week training being too much. Do you know which of those days are film study? Which ones are dedicated to technical work and/or recovery? Do you know how Coaches manage player minutes throughout the season?

Do you have any experience or are you just assuming the worst and using it to shit on something you don’t know anything about?

PS- these are rhetorical, I don’t need your answers....I already have them.

Was I assuming the worst and using it to shit on something I don’t know anything about? Or was I right?

I kind of liked you back then until you bitch slapped me a few times for leaving the Blues and going to Surf for freebies......lol!!! I know I know, I deserved it and I was just looking for free sh*t. You caught me red handed and with my hand in the cookie jar. Not only did I get free soccer, I got all the goats over from the Blues in a 5 player coup so we could win a National Championship and not da Blues......hahahahahahah and we did. I just looked at the trophy in my office. I had to win the that freaking championship that escaped my youth and by God I got one. There, I confess......lol.........lol..........lol.........baaaaaaaaahahhaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
Someone from Blues is trolling people about injuries? Dang that's funny.

As long as you are on the topic, would you care to say how many ACL tears and repeat concussions at Blues ECNL teams in 2018 and 2019?

<crickets>
I know I had a coach crush on Tad and all that. He was really one of the few honest and straight shooters in da game. Told like it was and told me my goat was born to play the great game. Anyway back to my story, I believe my DD was protected from acl and super physical style injuries. My dd had most of her injuries playing hard Blues style. It was ruff and tough and not for the sissies. it was the only thing I complained about besides the obvious one who yelled and screamed at young ladies.
 
I distinctly recall you EJ saying that your dad is an Eagle flying solo. But now you’re celebrating that you had a role in bringing players from on team to another. You sir are very very confusing...

Well, the perceptions of the great EOTL is always right except one time, means he was right about all the freebies I was after and the natty. Many others on here said we were chasers of the ring, just like Lebron. It hurt me so much and then they said all these other nasty rumor sh*t, it was insane and I understand now, what I didn't understand back when I had so much kool aid, it was on my mouth, my hands, my car, my words. I was fuc*ing mess bro. I needed someone to slap me straight and someone did. What do you think brother? Do you think my dd went solo like all Eagles or did I package all the goats like the Jackson 5? If you guess right, I will PM you the truth since I'm a liar and full of dung.
 
I'm kicking it on da beach and four guys from Brazil are playing 2 v 2 beach soccer. I swear and no one is saying a word. Is this wrong? Should I out them. Plus, the beach is packed again just like the pool. I'm literally watching rich people swim with their kids in the pool on the beach. Sunset is coming and I will post tonight beautiful set. On top of that, I'm alive and in the best dam shape in my life. I owe so much to my wife. She prepped for this moment in time.

She was solo. Final answer.

I would never, ever do that bro. How embarrassing for me personally. That's why I got so triggered by some last year. I did know a few dad's that did well going that route. Package deal and TM position....lol. Thanks for understanding who i truly am brother Giesbock. I want you to know I wish your dd the best outcome in all this crap that will soon go away for the better. I bet you 100% by 2022, both of our goats will be happy. This soon will all pass and I can;t wait :)
 
Back to that word “development “...I could be wrong (certainly have been plenty of times before) but I think pro evaluators, coaches, doc’s, guys and gals who run private training programs, national team scouts, etc. all can recognize pretty quickly whether a player has the foot speed, coordination and raw tools to make it. Grit, drive, ball skills might take more time for them to assess, but the physical tools are either there or they’re not.

I’m talking post-pubescent not 10 or even 15year olds..

Am I right? Or not?

Hardest one for a coach. What's in the soul? What's in the heart?
