[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’ve ever heard Tony Meola talk about growing up in Kearney, NJ - along with Tab Ramos and John Harkes - he credits that type of environment with the success they and other players had - playing a lot of pickup and learning from the older guys. There’s little doubt in my mind that is the best way for players to develop. There are small pieces of that in some Latino communities in the area, but certainly not the norm.[/quote] Yep. My brother played in the adult embassy leagues at 13. They used to pay him $100 for goals :). He was a top recruit, went on to play professionally. My dad would never have been able to afford travel for all 3 of us back in the day. Travel was volunteer coaches back then. My dad was one of them. He learned and absorbed everything he could from a Dutch friend- that was on Ajax youth team at U17 and came on college scholarship to the US.[/quote]
