Stop! going on all these super expensive trips overseas with these young boys. Its absolutely rediculous! Spend that money on bringing in more kids to camps and identificaiton. Its just lame. They are fourteen and our country is HUGE! There are loads of talented kids out there that need to be brought in as well. Just really ambitious.
Just a hater!! If your child was chosen, you would have felt differently. Everyone can never be chosen. This is American. Accept it and move on. Congrats to all the boys who were selected. What a wonderful experience for all of you guys. Continue to work hard and maybe you will have a shot at the men's national team in the future. Motivation and reward is the key.
