[quote=Anonymous]I played on the US olympic under 14 team and had a partial tear in my ACL which was very uncommon then unlike today. I rehabbed it for almost a year as surgery was primitive compared to today. I missed a year playing but was able to come back. I had a few D1 offers but I knew my knee couldn't hold out much longer. So I used soccer to get in the best academic school I could. Today I would have had surgery and headed to the pro's. I coached kids for a number of years and stressed body flexibility and minimal parental involvement, neither of which is common today. I had to give it up after parents got too crazy. Parents don't realize that they put unrealistic expectations on their children. A small fraction of kids will make it to D1 colleges so today I help advise those D3 kids, boys and girls, how to use soccer to get to the next level in Sports business! [/quote]
