The Q&A with Tony is a good watch.
Bello has always been a special player, will be interesting how this works with other players. There is a question about the late bloomer and he responds with the gap year team. I don’t agree fully with that gap year being late bloomers, there are some physical specimens on that team
But there are some good explanations about the focus on the different path for the special players.
He even said he lets his 12 and 13 year olds play hoops? From what I’ve heard kids were terrified to miss training sessions.
I’ve said for years these kids should be playing hoops in the winter. Helps them so much and makes them love getting back to soccer

One of the items I'd always heard was how TA or AU believes in the individual development, as opposed to the team development. After-all, they realize that they will never develop a whole team to play on the first team but instead individuals. Well, for those who doubted it, he brought that up and talked a bit about that in this talk. So I wonder if we'll see a whole lot more movement of players who fit the bill, leaving their actual teams vulnerable...FG

Wins are great, championships could be part of the process but the focus is truly on those select few that are national team pool players or are in the player ID pathway.

Special talents like George Bello and others (should) never play in their age groups, until the go to National Team. Tony also said that, and never downgraded the importance of players also developing through a team of similar talent...

George Bello started on the 2002 Boys ODP team that I help coach at U12, it was apparent very early he was far ahead of his peers and he was moved to the 2001 team soon after.

I didn't listen to the entire presentation and skipped to the Q&As mostly --- did TA acknowledge the fact that Bello was coached by so many others? or did it appear as if AU was trying to take credit for his success and development?
Many young ones contributing around the league. Look no further than Jesus Ferreira who scored the first goal against AU on saturday -- 18 year old born in 2000. Played 8 years with the FC dallas youth academy and has never been capped with a YNT (he was rostered on a u17 squad, but never played). Busio is the next obvious one with SKC - he's played in 7 MLS games, and has 3 goals and 1 assist.

He spend time covering what they did with him back then being a case study on their template, and since, went through some of his strengths and weaknesses, and passing them on to the top team as he's work in progress still.

Sounds like Bello has returned to training. Atl 2 and first team line ups should be interesting.

Just FYI on Ferreira, he's never really been in the USYNT picture because of citizenship requirements, he's native Colombian.
