Nobody's Pleading Guilty: The Dirty Secret Behind Winning vs. Development

I go solo on this one to push back on the popular "development over winning" mantra in youth soccer. I argue the whole conversation is oversimplified — nobody actually defines "development," clubs brag about wins on social media while preaching development in the same breath, no coach ever admits to prioritizing winning over developing players, and I think real development should actually correlate with winning over time, not be divorced from it. No easy answers here, just a push for more honesty and nuance.
