Omg that’s so great!! I bet it was a wonderful time in your life.Awesome!!!
Yes, always better to master the fundamentals in anything before moving on to more advanced technique.
After HS I played on an IBM league soccer team with my pop. One of the guys on that team also played on an Austin city league team, and he asked me to play for them as well.
I was the only guy on that team that didn't speak fluent Spanish, and there were only 2 guys on the team (one being the guy that asked me to play for them) that spoke fluent English. There were guys from Mexico, Brazil, and Peru. Boy howdy, did those guys have skills...!!! I learned a lot...!
Back when I first started playing in the Town and Country league, and all the way through HS soccer, I practiced dribbling, juggling, etc. for hours at a time on my own (or with my pop or one of my bros...my next youngest bro also played on the JV team my junior year then joined me on varsity my senior year, and played on varsity until he graduated 2 years later) when I could, along with our regular practices and games.
Good times...!!!![]()

I think soccer is just going to continue to get more popular in the US.. it’s LONG overdue!!
