BR is coaching the 2001/02 combined age group and stated clearly the three things LAPFC will attempt to develop in players is what is being passed down from US Soccer:
1) Being able to escape pressure in small areas with high technical ability;
2) To be tactically proficient to find space between the lines when played against teams that close space quickly and sit deep;
3) To be explosive over initial 3 yards to take advantage of space created.
**None of this is related to actual "size" of player.
BR did state he doesn't like to lose but there are many ways to win with appropriate development.
BR and Dido are on the same page with development philosophy but reach out to Dido directly:

There is a clear reason why Dido was hired in this age group... Development first.
