Better to play college, have fun, get an education and build a career that will be more fulfilling and lucrative

Even if she spends every dime of her Nike contract on booze, Boyz, and fast cars, and squanders the rest, she will be able to afford college if pro soccer doesn't work out. The chance she'll en up flipping burgers, working a pole, or living under a bridge are nil.

I think most of them have 2nd jobs like waitressing or cashier at Walgreens.
These women are old enough to be dealing with relationships, alcohol, legal weed, and drama.
I feel bad this kid is losing childhood. A healthy childhood and a great college experience can’t be replaced later on with money. Nobody cares about NWSL. It’s kinda fun but that’s it.
Also, be nice everyone. I know the dad is on here looking for validation.

But I remember when he was signed, the club made it clear that he would have his own private locker room, because "things are said and done in an adult locker room that 14-year-olds should not hear or see".
And while the sentiment is understandable, especially given the need to ensure no fraternization or abuse goes on... obviously whoever said that doesn't know teenagers. Ochoa is now 16, and I'm sure he's a BIG hit with the ladies.
Think of when you were in high school. Were you clueless about adult topics like sex, drugs, and alcohol? No, you weren't, even if your parents pretended you were, and acted like they never partied back when THEY were kids.

While he hasn't gotten any caps with the first team, he does seem to be coveted by both the US and Mexican youth national sides (he is eligible for either).

Just a quick fact check. Do your homework before typing BS. Not the same for men’s obviously, but for women D1 soccer has always been the training ground for the worlds top female players
