[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's "official", Pulisic says you try harder when you go to Europe, and he's saying he's always had a winning mentality, that sounds like the mind of a hungry player.  Exactly the opposite of the rest of the USMNT that did see themselves playing in WC as a given.  Read the article.

It's a quick and good read.[/quote]

And he stresses how much his Croatian passport made a difference in his prime developmental years.  Stressed how very important it was in the most critical developmental 16-18 year old window.[/quote]

Remember lots of people said the most important development stage pretty much ended before u16?[/quote]

The technical foundation of footwork is laid down mostly by 12. The fundamentals of the tactical elements of the game are laid down by 16 or so and then from 16 years old and upward the merging of technical proficiency with a tactical understanding begin to merge.

I think what Pulisic is saying is that up until 15/16 years old everything was pretty much 'wax on, wax off" but by the age of 16/17 it was time to do some effing karate. [/quote]
