The wannabe egos in this town is a joke. From the coaches who arent very good, to parents who think their precious kids are going pro, to the kids themselves who really cbf. I love the kids who take the piss on the field and have fun. Some of those have some talent as well.
Yet, we have had professionals come out of the system...your statement is wrong

As posted on the Jets Youth section, the average age of the Socceroos (at the Qatar WC) having entered a professional academy was 15.2 years of age...don't be bitter, who are any of us to stand in any one's dream...let's just ensure we have a system that maximises the opportunity for those dreams to ever be realised.

No more loser mentality
