There may be great coaches in the college ranks. I fully believe there are some very high quality coaches there. However, when they have to follow limits on when they can practice and have to balance an athletes athletic workload with school, the players are not getting nearly the same work as someone in a professional academy. Yes, in academies they do have to handle the schooling aspect, but the NCAA restraints are not there.

They are even restricted from working with their players with a ball for certain parts of the year!
The very nature of college soccer needs to change! But I maintain that if we could make a few changes, then it could be a key advantage for us in developing players.
