[quote=Anonymous]what is taught in top european or south american soccer academies is not rocket science and can be taught anywhere. The difference is that they are starting off with super-advanced U8/U9 players who grow up soaking in a soccer culture 24/7 where social status of being a pro soccer player is the best thing that can happen to you. So parents, friends, family, is all pushing and encouraging them from age 6 to make it into an academy by age 8 or 9. Plus they have to compete against thousands of other kids, but the rewards are there. Here we have no such environment for soccer. We do for football/baseball/basketball, though.[/quote]
