The world laughs at the pussification of America.

as soon as it popped up on twitter, i pictured taylor jumping up for joy, like rocky balboa when he made it to downtown philly.

I was born at the wrong time. Wouldn't have had to spend my childhood jumping into people to pretend like I was going up for the ball

Twellman literally has been campaigning for this for years. I talked to him for 30 seconds once and he brought that up.

When I was that age, I remember one practice where we only worked on headers. Two hours of hitting the ball with our head. I had the worst headache. And I don't want to hear that shite about using the right part of your head. After about 20 minutes using the right spot, you are just trying to avoid pain. It's the only time in my life that I actually believed a coach was abusing me. Our parents were pissed, and this was before parents got pissed about practice being too hard. They never complained when I threw up from running too much, but they were flat-out pissed about this practice.

Pathetic
The balls they use today are like pillows
Try using the mid 80s Brine cannonballs we had, esp when wet

Another notch in the Jurgen Technical Director belt. Revolutionizing US soccer right before our eyes.

As turrible as it is, maybe our youth system will benefit from being forced to rely more on build up and less on set pieces.
Nah.
Nah.

That would be a silver lining, for sure.

Cool story bro

In another case of "cool story bro," I am a member of the AMA (American Medical Association) and you get daily email updates on medical news. This was included this morning:
Interesting that some sort of health care professional has to be present at all development academy matches.
Seeing as I want to go into sports medicine...

USSF recommends medical professionals make decisions on head injuries rather than coaches
The AP (11/10) reports that, in light of a lawsuit filed in August 2014, the US Soccer Federation (USSF) said Monday it is “recommending a ban on headers for players 10 and under, limits for players between 11 and 13 and having medical professionals rather than coaches make decisions on whether players suspected of concussions can remain in games.” The USSF is “strongly urging” all members to adopt the changes. Under the new rules, “a Health Care Professional (HCP) must be present at all development academy matches and will make all decisions regarding head injuries, taking decisions away from coaches.”

This is what happens in rugby.

That part makes complete sense. I would rather have a medical professional making medical decisions and a coach making coaching decisions.
