Boys,
I have no problems with any issue being addressed or criticized for improvement.I see little in the way of criticism with the above posts however. Criticism usually entails looking at a problem and coming up with solutions. The problem I have with this is that young soccer players will look at these posts and they become legitimized. The costs and political side of ODP have been addressed ad nauseum on this board, some fairly some not, but posts like this cheapens what players, coaches , and administrators put in to the program. I enjoy levity as much as the next guy, but my sense of humor stops when the integrity of ODP is called in to question either directly, obliquely, or comically, whether real or not. ODP is expensive and some jabs can be taken at it, but this area should be off limits. These types of posts perpetuates too many already established falsehoods.
Dr. Phil,thanks for the life lessons, I will try it.
