I completely agree. Remember that talent is distributed evenly, whereas opportunity is not. In the US, you have to buy opportunity, you don't earn it. Is it a governance problem or a mindset problem? Bit of both.
Gather round boys and girls! It's thread time!
Where do we start? It's hard to say, as they're all priorities, and we would be fighting on many different fronts. These points will be addressed in no particular order.
Our first stop takes us to Iceland. In the US, there are so many unqualified coaches working with youths. Even many DOCs have low or no licenses. We need to get more licensed coaches, and higher licensed coaches, in front of our kids.

In most countries, a coach cannot work at a particular level without a license. That's a huge barrier in the US, because of the way coaching courses are taught. They are expensive, centralized, costly, time consuming. It prevents coaches getting them.
Spain has about fifteen thousand pro or A licensed coaches. That's simple. Hold more courses, in more convenient locations. And with the advancements in technology, so much more can be done online. Coaches won't have to fly across the country several times.

First, thanks for engaging. As far as the kids, maybe use a different word to describe them? IMHO, far too many kids in the US could become brilliant soccer players or musicians or scientists but never have a chance because of the system. How do we fix that?
