[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who are proponents for keeping the HG MLSN BY, are there actual stats on how many players actually turn pro directly from that league vs taking other paths? Seems if this is the reason for separating it from the rest of youth soccer, it would be helpful to know the actual stats.  
Since I think most club players who push for the top team/league at their club, college is their main goal, so if college is a main goal/outcome for HG MLSN, it would make the most sense to keep it SY aligned with the rest of the leagues right?  This separation seems more appropriate for an actual MLS academy imo not just your local club’s top team…. [/quote]

The numbers going pro from mls academies are incredibly small. MLS 1 p2p being a pro pathway is an absolute joke, apparently just like mlsn2 being a pathway to mls1. [/quote]

Since the stats are the same all over the globe for the percentage of youth players who go Pro, then everything is a joke everywhere.[/quote]The formula is that they come from very poor backgrounds and don't bright futures. Soccer can take advantage of this group by signing them as early teens. Doesn't work in America, kids aren't that desperate and have brighter futures outside of sports.[/quote]

The fact there are so many Olympic Medalists from the USA who come from economic Middle to Upper Class families throws water on your theory

Add to that all the professional and Olympic athletes in every sport internationally who's parents were (rich) professionals

You don't have to be poor to have drive, motivation, talent and discipline [/quote]
