The whole player development program in BC needs to be reviewed.
Since the Whitecaps and BC Soccer have been in partnership in the development of players in BC, there has been no players coming through to the first team at the Whitecaps, or the National teams at CSA.If I am not mistaken, the partnership has been going on for about 8 years and it is evident that there is something drastically wrong, when there are no players from BC getting selected to the National Teams.
It used to be that at least 50% of all National Teams were BC Players.
Now, we are getting 1,or 2 players at most selected.
As someone who was heavily involved in developing players for both the National Team and the Whitecaps (86ers) I find it disappointing to see this happening.
It is time to stop assessing the players and start assessing the Staff and Coaches who are responsible for this disgraceful performance.
The NTC is supposed to develop players for the National Teams and quite frankly, has not done so, yet the guy who runs the program gets rewarded with a position as Head Coach of one of the Teams. How can that be?
He doesn't even pick players from his own Province, because they are not good enough. Who's fault is that?
The propaganda that is spilled out, telling us how good these programs are, is sickening.
There is no "end result" and they should be held accountable. We keep hearing about how great the program is, but the stats don't lie.
A huge clear-out is well in order here.
