Ehh everyone loves to detest on the True program.. money grab bla bla bla (all clubs are money grabs btw.) Solid staff, great support for players and coaches, ample opportunity to get better. Specialized position skills training offered outside of practice times. Great option if you’re in the Annapolis area and don’t want to deal with the egos that go along with the Hawks players, staff, and parents.
I’d say less than 10% of the true players could play for the Annapolis Hawks. Those egos have been earned with a decade of superiority. Ironically enough there is plenty drama and ego in the true program, just without the winning. The only thing that they are earning is W-2s for their coaches.
10% is LOL because the True Nap starters could clearly substitute for the 3rd line Hawks players and that's 30-35%. But overall your post is solid.
True "works" under the model that every kid naturally improves from reps and opportunities (not unlike National teams), and that you should pay for every rep. But a lot of kids don't need "just more reps" and a regional and national team to play on, or multiple coaches, etc.
When the True Virus/Cult tried to sweep through our local club, we were taken in by "the True app" the "faceoff trainings in Chicago" and the fact that they were "always practicing." The speed of the practices is good, too. But it's 100% reps and 0% IQ........not what every player needs. And of course "pay by the rep" LOL.
