I am proud to say I have had the opportunity to work with both of these boys for several years through both school and club ball. Warren Gross is now a freshman at Penn State and David MacVane Jr. is on his way to USC in the Fall as you know. I've had the pleasure of coaching both of these two fine men. I've been both around the country and around the world with both of them. I've been to the park banging soccer balls around the park. Last year, Warren helped me coach my U9 travle team, and Dave is now helping me as U10's. They are both excellent athletes and great people.
How do two top soccer players come from two tiny little towns in Upstate NY? Great coaching, hard work, and determination to be the best. I know both of them have had David MacVane Sr. as a coach for many years. Dave Sr. is a great coach with lots of insight on the game. I know Dave Jr. basically dedicated his teenage years to becoming the best soccer player he could spending countless hours in the yard dribbling, juggling, shooting, working out, etc. Both of these superb athletes made their way to the National Pools through ODP and Super Y.
FYI: Dave Jr. has a little brother Dylan who is currently a 7th grader. Dylan is following in his brother's footsteps and is already quite the player.
