[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that it did not used to be this way. I played sports as an kid and have friends from that period who also played sports and went on to play college with several playing professionally. No one was traveling like kids do today and none of them were forking out thousands to play. There weren't personal trainers.

I am happy for the trainers and coaches who manage to create careers out of the sport or at least make some supplemental income but the structure of the travel system keeps out many of the folks that can help the sport. When Hope Solo and Alex Morgan are telling you the system is broken, you should listen.

My main complaint centers around the DA/ECNL leagues.

The youth system is broken. However, Alex Morgan and Hope Solo know nothing about it.

The parents have created this demand. You know, the parents that are always trying to find a leg up for the kid. We, the parents ruined it by creating and indulging in an out of control market.[/quote]
