basketball 20 years ago only inverse. Our kids grow up shooting hoops
on the playground, unsupervised play where kids explore their own abilities, and learn their own moves. 20 years ago there were good solid players coming out of European bbball, players who may have been technically better than most of our kids, with precision, machine like playing styles. We produce Kobe, they produce Dirk. Will our soccer evolve likewise? The problem is still the money. Great young athletes will make more money being a journeyman in the NFL, the NBA, or MLB, than they can be a star in the MLS. I still don't see U.S. kids playing pick-up soccer games after school, except among immigrants maybe. That in my opinion is what is necessary to solve what you have observed. Until it is something kids do just for FUN, we won't create the truly great players we need. |
