It’s been said all too often that the United States produces too many athletes and too few soccer players. And you know, it really is true that native talent from the States is less technical. We don’t produce the best dribblers. We don’t produce a lot of highly creative players. And we don’t develop our players to be able to play in small spaces. Instead, we excel at players who are able to leverage their strength against the opposition, to use their height and their jump to rise above the competition. To be bigger, to run faster, and to keep going longer.
