True. Pro is such a long shot. I'm 47 now and I juggle still and kick against a wall...a lot. No teams around here, though, but it's probably good while I get in better shape. I push too hard when I play. But I juggle 1000x a day, and going for 90 days. It's fun. I'm learning new stuff, and staying in shape. Soccer mostly isn't about being pro, it's for people having fun.

PDL players come & go because most coaches focus on getting immediate short term results since the season is so short. What ends up happening is most of the committed players who are maybe not superstars but definitely have tons of potential to provide consistency & effort are put aside in search of "better" players with "big CV's" who are only committed as long as everything goes well. Our season went South because the initial group that was brought in wasn't nurtured, we were treated like replaceable chess pieces & felt no compassion or desire from our leadership to improve us as players until towards the end of the season when our commitment was acknowledged...the crazy part is that those who had the most HEART are the ones who stuck through it until the END. Once our season was almost over & we weren't playing for anything, the pressure to succeed was off, the leadership relaxed & that's when started obtaining results as a unified team & group.....AND 4 years later almost ALL the so called BEST players have quit playing & ALL the consistent hard workers are either Pros now or still playing @ higher paid semi professional teams that now exist in the US.

14:42 The swedish coach put it right on the money, in my opinion. The youth system and how players are produced by teams is one of the biggest drawbacks for teams in terms of creating players that will be in the first team or sold to make a profit. I'm not from the US, I'm british and played in the UK for a while not for an academy but i understood the system i left the UK before I was 10 moved to China and then later moved to America at the age of 13. when i first came here i didn't understand the connection between pro and college or even high school, of course they have the draft and that but the a majority of the players playing in US academies will go on to play college first then later you might have a Jordan Morris who'll make it big time and become the next big thing in the States. A lot of the American talent that I have seen play from the U17 national team since they went and lived at the same school as i did (Christian Pulisic, Haji Wright, basically the up and coming players) have chosen the leave the US at the first chance they get to continue their development in the European Leagues. Tell me if Pulisic were to have stayed in the US and went to College, would he have been the type of player he is now or would he just have been another college player trying to make it in the MLS. Although college is go for education and getting a free education (if youre an athlete) it hinders the development of American players

you speak the truth. thats the problem. in the U.S. you need to go to college to get scouted in for MLS...in Europe and South America you have kids from the poorest of neighborhoods already going into academies and being developed since childhood. The problem in the U.S. is that in order to get into an academy or even college in requires a lot of money...in the U.S. academy football is afforded by the upper middle class and above, and the working class whom have probably the majority of decent players from immigrant families cannot afford the cost of going into a U.S. football academy. Unfortunately its a pay to play system.

Man, to all you saying that US football is about physicality and Europe is all about technique, those playing at the highest level in Europe play with a level of physicality and fitness that means they would walk all over these guys, even if it wasn't for the superior levels of technique. Yeah for sure this coach was teaching football from a bygone generation (plus he had a big-man complex which he needed to drop), but to suggest that you don't need to be fit and strong to play in Europe is madness. But anyway, it's good to see the progress the US is making in general. The college system over there is great in the sense of it makes sure (at least in theory) that players get an education while they play, but the truth is, if you have the talent you can be playing professional football in Europe, South America etc. by 16 and more than likely you will have to forego your education if you are going to be pro. It's sad because the US has it right in this regard, but I can't see football changing it's system anytime soon.
@NmpK245 жыл бұрын
The US College system is flawed for Football. Kids in Europe and elsewhere are already professional footballers before they are 18, playing sometimes at the top level. So by 18 its too late for most players. Whats the point of playing in sub-standard level just to get an education? It works for other US sports, but not in the world's biggest team sport. And this myth about physicality in Europe. They use the youth levels to develop the game and then work on the physical side, therefore already way ahead of US players.

The best thing this swedish coach could have done for them is to invite them to train with a team in the first or second division in sweden so they can feel the difference in technique first and foremost so they get that into their head because they work to much on their physique forgetting that football is a skilled based sport!

It may be unfair to blame the coach for the emphasis on athleticism. I was at the game vc the Baltimore Bohemians and I tell you, none of the 2 teams could put 3 passes together in spite that you could see that some players in both teams "could play".( a Knights midfielder was really good). You just can not play good soccer in that field. Too small, plus the impact of a hard turf surface on the ball bounce, leave extremely little time for players to think. Those kind of fields are very common in US lower division soccer. I dont think its a coincidence that we have such a hard time developing thinking creative midfielders. On such fields, athleticism may give you a better edge than technique

The same with a sport such as Ice Hockey, The last World Cup of Hockey in 2016 had only one game broadcast on ESPN, with the rest being broadcast in the U.S. on NHL Network, which is a channel that costs extra through some cable companies.

This is the measure by which the leagues determine a player's worthiness to make the type of money associated with being a professional athlete - that's it. It is a hustle that they want every athlete to participate in, because the powers that be possess sour grapes that a young athlete can make more money in a year, than most middle class uni graduates make in a lifetime. This is also the reason employers want to hire graduates, because it demonstrates that a candidate is able to envision a goal, enter into and complete the long term demand of a degree. In short, it demonstrates discipline. This is the same requirement we see in professional sports in the US - owners want assurances that their young talent also possess the discipline to play the game of academic life. Every time a player foregoes university to enter into the draft, it is seen as an outlier that is sidestepping 'the rules'. But, in reality, nowhere else in the world do we see talented athletes withering on the vine, going through the university process to become successful professional sportsmen. Of course, MLS salaries are much lower than anywhere else in the football world - so why the emphasis on the college draft? As I said, it's sour grapes. People without the knowledge and experience of being an athlete - but who run these organisations - want to maintain barriers to success for those young people that are talented, experienced and capable athletes. Everyone knows that for the US to be competitive in the world of football - the LAST thing a young player should be doing is wasting his prime in the NCAA. At this time, and for the foreseeable future, college soccer seems to be the only reasonable means of developing young talent with a semblance of competitiveness, because we lack the market for a multi-tiered system of leagues with heritage, with a strong supporter/ fan base to finance it and supply the juggernaut of a premier league. The real loss for the US, as a footballing nation, is that the best players in the country are immigrants that spend their days working construction, or in the nation's kitchens and warehouses, working blue collar jobs. These folks will never be scouted.

Jayy Wolfe you have pdl, usl, and upsl teams all over CA. check out the sites, find some near by teams and do a quick Google search with the team name followed by either "combine" or "try out" and the year. lots of paying opportunities. I train/direct HS and community college players for/to play in these leagues. I played a little PDL myself after college.

Obviously football (soccer) will only get better in the USA by it becoming more popular and more widely played but they really need to look at their league systems as well if they're ever wanting to compete at the highest level in my opinion. Sports in the USA are set up as a business and everything's about the franchises, not about the quality of sports, not about the players, not about talent development and not about the fans. That's also why they don't have relegation and promotion in their league structures. You see NFL teams just coasting to the bottom for better draft picks etc. exactly because there's never any concern about getting relegated so they just don't care about the quality of the league or about the fans, they just care about business. It damages the quality of the entire league where there's no motivation/pressure for mid and bottom table teams to actually go out there and fight with everything they've got every week. If you're just happy to coast to the bottom for better draft picks, your team doesn't belong in top sports of any kind. That's unambitious and it's pissing on the fans paying for the entire thing. The only thing there's no promotion and relegation in American sports is that it's better for franchise owners. Business hates risk and insecurity. Risk and insecurity is great for the quality of the sport and for fans though. It means the teams have to keep fighting until the season ends and need to invest and do what they can to stay up. The whole college sports thing is also a weird obstacle in many ways, the players are too old for most clubs in the world to really consider signing them when they're done with college. The most common age to get signed by pro clubs elsewhere is like 15-19, and plenty of players then opt to finish their education on the side while playing for a club. When you're 25 or whatever you're basically in your prime age as an outfield player so in 99,99999% of the cases you have no chance anymore. At that age you're competing with top tier footballers who've been playing pro for up to 10 years, you'll have to be a special kind of talent to get signed by anyone worthwhile at 25 or similar, and I'd be surprised if you hadn't already been picked up by scouts by then to be honest. I'm not sure how you could fix the issue of "school sports" honestly, as it seems so ingrained in American school life. It's just a downright strange concept to me as a European. Of course people do sports in gym class etc. here as well but their sports club is independent of the school and they go there on their own outside of school. Changing school doesn't mean you have to change football club, unless of course you move far away but then you can just sign up for a local club at your new place instead. The problem is mainly with college sports in the USA as the players may be "tied" to the school sports program until they're basically too old to be signed by "real" teams. They should already be pro players when they're ~20 if they're to make it to the top.
