Article: The Evolving Role of the Goalkeeper Coach

The article describes the world we want to be in. Most club coaches don't have the luxury of "development" because their customer base are just a bunch of shithead parents who equate winning and being on a winning team with development. These customers don't stick around too long for teams that don't win. Coaches are paid by these parents and need to win to keep their car payments current. The nice thing about the DA is development is recognized as important and the coaches at this level have a little leeway to put development over wins (not a lot ... but more than the average Flight 1/Gold/Premiere coach fighting to keep players).
