Surf Cup - Get Your Refund Now

True, if we are only talking about 1 kid. I have a feeling folks are going to AZ just for video. Coaches will be overwhelmed with hundreds of videos to watch. I also don’t think it’s a good use of time or an effective way to evaluate players. I would wait if I were a college coach.

But you are not a college coa h and many coaches have had to make new routes on the road to finding their next players.

What’s good coach? I do believe everything will work out eventually for the 21’s & 22’s. I just think video review will have little to nothing to do with it.

I thought the same way way Dre until the Rona hit us. Today's player needs a video and one that is updated with new and better plays. I just hooked my pal up with a new business model. Basically, they put the highlights together for first video at a fixed price. Then, you pay for a monthly service for edits and add on. So instead of getting a one time pop, now you can set a monthly recurring charge, like Soccer America. No contracts, just good old service and you can cancel anytime.

Again you have no idea. You are wishcasting on that one.

Your preferred solutions are unworkable. The main reason? People are social. They will always hang out.

If you create plans that don't deal with reality, the plans will always fail.

You actually think 99% of parents who are willing to travel during a pandemic are going to eat dinner in the hotel room?

Or you’re just disagreeing with me on instinct?

Read your sentence about people being social, then tell me whether 99% of parents will eat dinner in the hotel room.

I’m not a coach but I can tell when someone’s laying their mac hand down and running straight laced game. What the coaches are doing is similar to how I would respond to girls in the past when they’d ask if I loved them as I was trying to get in their pants...without pause, I would go into straight laced game mode and tell them whatever they wanted to hear to get what I wanted. Likewise, coaches are telling lame parents that lack deductive reasoning what they want to hear to string them along. Game recognizes game coach.

Y’all come to Texas. We have been playing games and tourneys since June! No widespread issues.

Cheers to Texas! You guys have produced two of the best players in the USMNT history. Clint The Cowboy Dempsey is still the best striker in us history. Weston McKennie is the best player right now for the USA. I’m a Pulisic fan but his injury history is very concerning. You guys also found a nice pipeline to Europe with Reggie cannon going to the Portugal league.

I don’t know much about youth international tournaments but I have to think that your Dallas Cup must be one of the biggest ones to attract international teams. Maybe even bigger than Surf Cup? Dang, I couldn’t stop my inner voice to speak. Here comes the controversial comment. Lol

Hey Dre, just got off the phone with my pay from the Mid West. He has GK son and is one of the top GK around. He's a hidden gem, meaning just plays for fun and with his high school friends and some club. Was recruited to leave his home to train at some of the top academies in the country. However, he's a wiz in life and school and wanted to hang local with his peers. His old man put together a high light video ((no money to pay video service)) and his phone rang off the hook after he sent video. I swear bro. Dude got two full ride offers and sat on them for a month. Mainly wanted to see if the Euro GKs were going to ball this year and they said, "no." He is now signed for the next four years and his dad told me without the video he would be lost. I say get a video you guys. My local guy is a super cool dad and good at video clips. PM me and I'll hook you up with a killer Crush referral. Crush does not take a kick back or discount if I bring my friends some business. I just like to share with others and try and help others in these tough times. I'm super grateful for the $600 that's coming my way. I've never needed $600 like I do now. Winter of Darkness is starting with $600 pay out for man. 6 is man's number. All numbers btw are excellent and their is no bad luck numbers. That is complete BS!

Sounds like a great business for out of work coaches. I still doubt these videos will be reviewed.
 
What is the difference than sitting on the sideline watching or watching video of the whole game. They may end up seeing more of a player on a full game video as they are not under pressure to get to the next field on their excel game spreadsheet. Maybe they will sit the extra 15 at a monitor and see something spectacular.

Now, we all know coaches need to win to keep jobs. They will say what they need to say to get top recruits. They will also take fillers.. know your role going in. If you go to a power conference are you a filler or a player. Know your role and be accepting of it.

Truth is hard to read sometimes. It does go both ways Dre and some dumb men have no idea how to treat a lady so the ladies just take half of their money. Some woman do what dumb dumb thinks he wants and then she takes all his dam money. Stupid fools.

I was just trying to keep coach engaged. I missed him, and we hadn’t chopped it up in a while. One love coach.

Game Video is certainly part of the equation, if they ask for game video AFTER you send highlights. Coaches want context but only after they are somewhat interested.

I'm sure many have different experiences with college coaches and their recruiting style. The ones I know will not watch game video unless they've requested it. ECNL did a decent job in NOV with their showcase, at least logistically, with their streaming. The small sample size of coaches I know who viewed the live stream said it was difficult to watch and didn't provide value in identifying new talent. The opposite may have been true for some you know.

Unfortunately, and to no fault of their own, the 21s and 22s that haven't signed or are still looking are having a tough time. Much harder for the 21s, the 22s have some time to work the edges and get noticed.

It sucks, big time - an emotional roller coaster for your player. I just went through it with my oldest. He was fortunate in the end but learned some life lessons along the way. Also realized, on his own, that NOT playing wouldn't have been the end of the world and to prioritize academics. He had to come to that conclusion on his own.

Oh mine has prioritized academics big time and should have no problems that route with a scholarship or aid. Soccer is only an added benefit for her if it happens.

You typed this.

"If 99% of people wore masks, stayed outdoors, ate dinner at home, and went promptly to bed, we would not be in an outbreak."

That is what I responded to.

I like that you came back. You keep it real bro and I love that. I know you said you were done but I see you back now for good. Welcome back brother :)

Try 40 players in the case of UCLA’a women team.

Crazy right. I was referencing some men's P5 rosters that my oldest had to navigate during his recruiting. 40 is ridiculous! Roster size is definitely a consideration. Coaches will tell your player what they want to hear, especially if they are trying to get their last minute fillers for their roster.
