And change for the sake of change does not always give you the desired outcome.

Something is not working, identify and change the parts or process. But in both instances the output is clear.

In this case to me the output is not clear.

What does the USSF want?

More players with talent to play at the highest level.

How do you get that? ... identifying the player at young age.

What age age would that be?... probably u13

How do you get the best players to stay in soccer? There has to be a return on the player's investment.

Who should invest in the player? MLS teams... not having academies is the equivalent of a club without a young rec program. You cannot steer the players in the right direction. Then you get what you can get...

The capos in the USSF need to sit down and ask the following questions:
What is it that I am getting from USYSA? from US Club Soccer? If the answer is not what I need then instead of having two organizations, have one and streamline the whole process.
