In this fifth masterclass session, the hosts delve into the overuse and misunderstanding of the term ‘elite’ in the context of American soccer.

With Benny joining as co-host, they discuss what truly constitutes an elite soccer player by global standards, tackling the misuse of the term at both youth and professional levels. Highlighting issues from player development, technical and tactical capabilities, to the intricacies of soccer in the U.S. versus Europe, the episode provides a guide for parents, coaches, and fans.

Additionally, the hosts touch upon the implications of the absence of promotion and relegation in US soccer, and its impact on player development and visibility.
