So is DA more about winning or player development? They must win games to attract/keep the elite players, correct? Will parents pay the big bucks if their player on a losing side? In the USA, there is conflict with player development vs. winning. Clubs/coaches preach player development but mostly they�re out to win. Size and speed trumps ball skills with most coaches (would Messi make a DA squad at 14 yo) and add club ball (it�s about making money) and the best athletes (where�s the money?) don�t play soccer in the US. So why all the fuss over HS soccer and is HS soccer really the problem with player development in the US.
