In Part 1 of my interview with Director of Soccer Development, Mr. Crookham shared the Rapids developmental priorities, addressed the struggles the U18s and U16s had experienced, and revealed an exciting new project, a Rapids U23 team. In Part 2, Crookham and I discuss how to fix NCAA soccer, the contribution of USL affiliate Charlotte Independence, the homegrown tag in MLS, and how to go about getting all the most talented players in Colorado into the Rapids system.
Part 2 of my interview with Brian Crookham is loaded with great insider info for the diehard Rapids fan.
