We have got to go out there and deliver, go on the streets and find athletes, improve facilities around the country and find coaches. We have got to go out there and search for a star.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The key is grow your talent, attract talent, and then you'll attract the institutions that want to be around talent - and that, to me, is what we need to do at the national level.
We try to recruit good players and good people.
We've got to recruit at the same level of the people who are winning titles and playing for titles, and to do that, we've got to have great facilities.
With the responsibility of being a professional athlete, I believe that it is on us to go out there and help people.
My goal, my aim is to be a superstar, but not in a cheesy way. I want to go to America and do what they do. But better!
Where we can compete on merit, we do very well.
My sole focus is to help bring a World Cup back to the U.S.
All we can do is play ball. Every time we go out on the field, we do what we do in America - live in the freedom that our country affords us.
There has been no appreciable improvement in our country's ability to produce the kind of talent we need in this space. There have been some small initiatives around the country that have been noteworthy.
I think we can be competitive on and off the field and create a model where our athletes are scholars and learners, too.
