FRIDAY FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

"U.S. Soccer has repeatedly punted on basic leadership steps - like standardizing structures and age systems - preferring to “leave it to the leagues” rather than risk conflict. Crocker himself described the U.S. landscape as chaotic, disjointed, and financially driven, calling the task of aligning it an “astronomical ask.” He compared trying to unify American youth soccer to bringing all of UEFA under one philosophy."

A strong opinion piece on US Soccer's Sporting Director abrupt resignation to take a position overseas ... just weeks before the World Cup starts. A good read for parents and coaches alike.
