On Vol. 4 of This American Soccer, I welcome Coach Ellis Riley on the show to talk about how a strictly winning mentality affects youth soccer development, Ellis' experience going through a Premier League academy, the difference between US and English youth players, and finally what Coach Riley thinks is the biggest issue with youth coaching in America. This is a fun one!
