I'm jealous of all of you. I didn't have the opportunity to learn the skills in grade school or high school, just self taught from age 22-23 now. It's much harder, I can imagine, to learn at this point than it is a younger kid.
Count yourselves blessed that you have the ability to perfect technique at a much younger age
I'm 21 and I've been playing since I was about maybe 8 years old but I didn't play on a team until I was in the eighth grade, didn't play freshman year of high school and then played until I graduated, went to college and took two years off, I'm now starting my third year of college and I'm trying to get back into the sport. Bottom Line...I wish I would have focused more on soccer in high school and college instead of partying. A little late for regrets now and I'm busting my ass to catch up with other people my age.
