It’s easy to criticize or come to conclusions from the outside. LAFC Academy is run extremely professionally with player performance being the only politic. My son is being pushed and coached at a high level every day. All trainings are pre-planned to mirror the first team training earlier in the day.
Some boys quit and some get cut. Every one of our boys has a personal training regimen outside of Academy to work on individual skills and weaknesses.
In my opinion Coaches train a team for chemistry, formations, sequences etc... it’s the individuals job to work on skills like shooting, dribbling, perfecting their touch, the special extra they want to bring etc etc etc... there is not enough time for coaches to work on these areas on a consistent basis. And we know they need to be done consistently to become embedded in their game instead of a one time thing. Practice and Hard work is everything
Look at the pro roster and how it’s changed, do you guys think Bob Bradley works in dribbling and shooting with Vela on a 1-on-1? I doubt it... Its the individuals drive and EXTRA time they put it that makes them great.
