[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we will get better when our best athletes are trained to play from age 4 on up. Im taking our best athletes not our rich well off kids . Imagine if John wall only played soccer from age 4 til now and was taught ing a top level club from u9 til now ? His speed strength and size would be world class. just add the fundamentals and boom a top 5 world class player. [/quote] Please, not the "best athletes" myth again. It's idiotic on its face. [/quote] Whats idiotic about that Messi was trained playing soccer from very young age . in the USA the best athletes are almost never trained serious in soccer period . if you took our best athletes and just shoved soccer training down their throats from age 4 on we would have some of the best in the world. instead we have so many other options for our athletes at a low cost soccer is not a viable option. our pay to play at a crazy high price produces a very below elite athlete . look at the numbers overall not the rare 1 in a million chance kids . some of the best athletes in the world come from the ghettos of the USA. imagine if those kids that go on to play in the NBA or NFL were trained in soccer at the same rate as other countries. We continue to cater to the affluent white parents who's DS and DD are given the equivalent to participation trophies and fed the your a great athlete in soccer and just keep paying and you will be on the A travel team and told how much promise you have . Like it or not suburban soccer moms and dads. unless its in the genes. your kid isn't a top notch athlete. only in your eyes is DS/DD great. for every 1 kid who has athletic talent in Potomac. There are 12 kids in PG county or SE DC. sorry to bust your rich white dream. but give the kids in the lower income area the same access to training in their own neighborhood and watch out.[/quote]
