I can't recall where I read the article (probably ESPiN), but it was talking about how Erling Haaland came up slowly. I guess instead of just tossing him to the highest levels his progress was a bit more intentional to make sure he continued to play, get better, and not lose his love of the sport (that final part is my interpretation). I wonder how much intentionality there is with American soccer, at least on the men's side.
