[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these stories about overcoming issues and a kid ends up playing college. Are there any similar stories for those who become pro players? Or are those who go pro pretty much the kids who were recognized as talented from the beginning?[/quote] Check out Chris Richards’ (USMNT defender) path: At 16, he didn’t make FC Dallas Academy. A year later, at 17, he makes it. 7-8 months after that, gets signed to a pro contract w/ FC Dallas. A few months later, he is loaned to Bayern. He went from cut from FC Dallas Academy to playing in a Bayern-PSG friendly in under 2 years. Spent a couple of years in Bayern’s system and Bayern transferred him to Crystal Palace for 12M Euros last year, and he is on a 5 year contract. [/quote]
