The Boss...I know but gently pointing out that what Barry wants isn't who Dido is. People should not make a decision about 04 based on whoever this guy was...
The Boss...
BR is coaching the 2001/02 combined age group and stated clearly the three things LAPFC will attempt to develop in players is what is being passed down from US Soccer:S17 she was quoting Barry not Dido...
Isn't this Didos team?
If so I am sorry but you are way off base about him.
As a matter of fact dido is so focused on development and the right things that it actually pisses his alpha parents off
Do you have an 04?
If you do email Dido. I am telling you if he saw this thread he would be mortified. The irony is so rich here ...for those of us in the know it really is rich. This isn't Didos philosophy and it's not who he is at all
Again, he wasn't there, and I am not sure what I said that would mortify him. I just said they would pick the best players, wherever they may live, in order to win games now, not players with a lot of potential to be developed over time to win games in some distant future. I didn't say they wouldn't develop their players. It sounds like Dido is a great hire and I guessed that his training on Sunday would bring a lot more 04s out.
For those of you hoping that the DA was about development over winning and that smaller, more technical players that were previously passed over for strength, size, and speed would be be given a chance in the DA environment, I am afraid you will be disappointed.
it's a DA team.. why would you expect free passes to someone who's not at level - I don't think strength, size and speed as you mentioned have anything to do with who makes it on the DA teams - of course they're looking for top players - it's DA -- I'm sure any player that shows exceptional skill, regardless of strength, size, and speed as you mentioned, will make the DA team... Dido's style is all about skill period --- now exceptional soccer skills do come with speed and strength and a lot other qualities
Those who make it on the DA team will have a good opportunity to develop individually and as a team with Coach Dido - but you have to be at that level to make it into the team to begin with
Actually that is not correct
Certain clubs want non skilled trees
you may be right but conversation is about Coach Dido and LAPFC DA teams
Actually that is not correct
Certain clubs want non skilled trees
You forgot to word and I added it for you. "non skilled paying trees".Actually that is not correct
Certain clubs want non skilled trees
excuses..... so they don't look for "skilled paying trees" ? riiiiiightYou forgot to word and I added it for you. "non skilled paying trees".
BR is coaching the 2001/02 combined age group and stated clearly the three things LAPFC will attempt to develop in players is what is being passed down from US Soccer:
1) Being able to escape pressure in small areas with high technical ability;
2) To be tactically proficient to find space between the lines when played against teams that close space quickly and sit deep;
3) To be explosive over initial 3 yards to take advantage of space created.
**None of this is related to actual "size" of player.
Can I point out that 2850, not including travel, is insane. What is the return on investment here?
Well said and completely agree. Gotta love those alpha parents.Isn't this Didos team?
If so I am sorry but you are way off base about him.
As a matter of fact dido is so focused on development and the right things that it actually pisses his alpha parents off
This looks like a good place to chime in. You are correct that most will be status quo because those in charge of the ECNL teams are rolling with the same coaches to DA. With that being said. What would make anyone think anyone would be different than what they are doing?. There are only three coaches /staffs that my kid was going to play for when she made the final move before college. They were 1)Ingrassia/Joyner/Demelo/Arrache 2) Martins/Ritson and 3)Dido. None were ECNL including Dido while at Blues but he had the B team and all have the reputation and the results on the field that will exceed what US Soccer wants cause they don't know what they want. In fact these guys should be running the NT's. As far as Dido at LA Premier he is only there because of the same philosophies. He would probably not be there if their was not consensus.Actually again read. You stated it was a Da team implying a general consensus that their philosophies are consistent with Dido.
They aren't.
As a matter of fact MOST DA are not adhering to what Dido would foster or want to be frank.
