Your comments struck me as though you think it is bad to go all in chasing your soccer dream. My point to you is that if you want to be a pro, you absolutely do need to be myopically focused on getting there. What the other guy is saying is doing that is a waste of time. I believe that you are both incorrect. It absolutely is not a waste of time if that is what your career goal is. It is only a waste of time if you are giving your career goals a half hearted effort which you seem to be saying is OK.

Here is a document that explains the British youth system and philosophically how they advance players up to the pro and international levels. A pretty interesting read

The fact of the matter is most of the countries around the globe structure their youth programs in basically the same way and adhere it many of the same philosophies. The biggest difference between what all of them are doing and what we are doing is they seem to focus on moving players to different levels in order to maximize their individual development where as we focus on holding on to those players in one place so we can build super teams around them. They seem to keep the competitive forces at bay until the kids are around 15 but we seem to go in the opposite direction and push it younger. The money is very different also because the end game with most clubs around the globe is the transfer fees where as here it is the individual roster fees. The bottom line is if you are looking at our soccer system in this country and criticizing it you really do need to know what is out there to benchmark against so you can implement corrective change.. Without doing that you end up swinging in the dark trying to recreate the wheel.
