[quote=Anonymous]Injuries can be career-ending as much as a teen has a career as an amateur. Good friends' DS was an outstanding soccer player - tall, built, fast, and quick thinking. Invited to some ID camps when in MS for national team development. Attended development team practices and continued to play on high-level club team (won state and national championships). Also played on HS team and sustained a knee injury early junior fall. Missed college ID camps/tournaments, etc for nearly a year. Scrambled to get seen starting in summer before senior year. He went from a solid D1 prospect entering his junior year to trying to get seen by NESCAC coaches in the limited time he had left (as he had been on the sidelines for nearly 9 months). Lost out in every situation. May have been due to grades (attended one of the most rigorous schools in US with a B+/A- average) or coaches didn't want to gamble on someone who had a serious knee injury. Sh*t happens.[/quote]
