[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not me, but a friend growing up was Clarence Goodson who played on the US national team. He wasn’t even the best player on our high school team if memory serves me. Like he played varsity soccer and was on a very competitive club team, but he wasn’t the best player on either. So, who knows, basically. The player who was the star fizzled out after college I think. [/quote] I just googled him. He may not have been the best but he was one of the best so not entirely an overcoming the odds story. Went on to play at UMD before the MLS draft.[/quote] Yeah I didn’t mean to imply he overcame odds or anything. Was that what OP wanted? I just meant, he was a good player in high school but not even the best on the team. But ended up most successful , so, in answer to her question, probably no one really thought he would be successful professionally until he was already in college [/quote]
