re: Path to Success is Exclusive Academies not a Million Fields

That’s probably why the system needs to actually be ran by us soccer. In its current form the mls isn’t and won’t make money like that and they get the money from parents of these kids.

Also we for sure have enough athletes in this country that we can dominate soccer even if all tier A athletes stayed in football, basketball and baseball.

The B tier would work just fine, the problem is the tiers for our sports start to seperate late in the life cycle for a soccer player.

I think that is where the better community out reach comes into play with putting smaller fields in our cities and getting more soccer balls in.

It would also be helpful if we had kids playing football in the fall, basketball in winter/early spring and then soccer for spring/summer at a young age.

Then maybe us soccer could poach what would be undrafted free agent talent in the future over to it, you have us soccer with its like 10-15 boarding school academies that have a combination of the best pay to play kids and our poor kids as well.

We could also approach it as Germany and France, but just regionalize it with each section reporting up. The way we would cover our vast real estate difference could be two fold. 1. We focus on the prime areas for talent (we know we have large state out west that don’t have much talent) 2. We just have to have more of them than France and Germany due to our size.
