[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really, does anyone here personally know anyone who became a successful professional athlete? Anyone??? The best athletes are not coming out of the burbs, and most elite soccer players aren’t even American.[/quote]

on the mens side where they are competing with hundreds of millions this is true. On the women's side, it's very much pay to play and the best still come up though elite clubs that aren't cheap [/quote]
Yeah, I have to laugh at these people who are overly involved in kids’ sports, take it so seriously. I mean, really, unless you absolutely love watching children play sports, which I doubt, it’s kind of like watching kids play on a playground. There is no future in it. It’s good exercise and a good lesson in teamwork, but that’s it. Why parents get so overly involved and invested is beyond me. I have seen this play out time and time and time again, and not one of the kids played past college or even in college at all. Don’t stress, your kid is not the next Messi.[/quote]

yep, look at any club in this area (not team, club)- the odds that any player currently in the club will ever make a living playing soccer are near zero. [/quote]
