This is north Texas the first thing we worry about is capturing their money then we worry about talent...

Joking aside, I would say 3 of 21 is not too bad?  Certainly improving.

That isn't too far from the truth. The difference now is these kids are being seen more by US Soccer thanks to payers (parents) putting them in front of US scouts. Brilliant, devious scheme if you ask me. (4:00 mark)

Just asking...but how do you “put” them in front of US scouts? How much does that run a parent? Asking for a friend.

Maybe there’s something on Groupon....

About half as much as most of the others ; )

The talent has always been here in NTX. My opinion your seing the talent consolidate into these coaching groups that is making a difference. I would adventure into who they are but that would just be my opinion and would definitely create a pisssing match.

Rather than state an opinion about who are the coaches making a difference, how about simple facts for who was training these girls from, say, U11 through U15 (the most formulaic years, imo)?
That wouldn't start a pissing match. Anybody know who has trained then the past 5 years or so?  Those coaches deserve some recognition in helping along the way, I would think.
