To me she looks like a great player in YouTube video of her playing/practicing. I don’t watch a lot of youth soccer. Is she that much better compared to other kids her age in our area?

a little different than Messi and Pele that couldn't even afford a new soccer ball, or in Pele's case--shoes!!


Where was Messi at 12? Pele? LOL maybe he was fighting for field space with the dinosaurs?


She lives in S.California—wtf do they a turf field in their backyard when you can play year round on natural grass?


So when she makes the USWNT she can do what some of those players did in Trinidad Tobago--blame the loss on poor field conditions But, I am used to perfect surfaces!!!!


*what the USMNT players

Probably because keeping natural grass alive in S. California is not easy with such intense use. Plus, she probably is playing on turf for games more often than not.

Eh, good for them.

Homeschooling kids for sports or arts development is nothing new. Almost every elite gymnast you see is homeschooled or online-schooled. Same goes for music or drama/acting prodigies. If you have a really talented, driven kid and the means to do it, I don't see why you wouldn't. Doesn't mean she will become Mia Hamm, but the window for this stuff isn't huge. Strike while the iron is hot.

Yikes. I wonder how the younger kids feel that the oldest gets all of the parents' social media adoration.

Reminds me of a local parent who posts on this site.


Are the younger kids being turned into sports phenoms too??

Because Pele's parents didn't sell DoTerra essential oils! That diamond club sure pays for a lot of turf.
