Yet, most of the coaches I talk to WANT to see the kids playing in a highly competitive atmosphere where everything is on the line, not just going through the motions to demonstrate their talent.

These coaches see and hear enough from the friendlies and showcases and are inundated with CD's and resumes long before nationals come around. When these coaches come to ASA nationals, mant (if not most) know who they going to be watching before they even get to town. If a coach happens to notice another player, that is just icing on the cake, but most of the better players are already in contention or have been contacted.

And that is the attitude that keeps Walmart in business. This type of company is target (you, not the store) oriented. They prey on lower income communities with lower-quality merchandise.

You are the consumer, you should expect a business to care.
