S43 there are several HS teams stacked w club players who got knocked out in the first and second round and who have parents who are fuming...in contrast to those losers, KW gets it done consistently...and with her club teams she has had success over many many years not just her recent club teams...
I know of one arrogant HS w great club players where the coach's excuse was "well you know, we just peaked too early"...yeah right...
wasn't talking about great club players, talking about ECNL players. Which high school teams that got knocked out are stacked with 10-12 ECNL players? I know Moorpark, Mater dei and JSerra are also stacked with ECNL players and they all made it to finals or won. It is a well known fact in the soccer community that Real cuts players and recruits from outside to build teams - don't develop their own players. Would be curious to see coaches take on public high school teams and build the program. That would be impressive about coaching abilities - to have a championship team year after year without the ability to recruit players.
