Hmm, I look back to my childhood and I used to have a minor talent in playing defense (mainly during the recess). But I never really got into it. My parents wouldn't be able to afford it, and I had no desire to get into that tournament league crap because of that crazy culture.
Not that the USA team would've benefited from me joining up even with all of that obsessive compulsive drills and long road trips. I'm still badly coordinated, so I'm no shooter or catcher. I still could get into somebody's face, do a zone defense or man-to-man, in hopes of forcing the kid to lose control of the ball and turn it over to our team.
What about you guys? Like your soccer skills, or your thoughts on the over-regulated culture of American youth soccer?
