Before people get their pitchforks out to slay me, please understand I am not hatin' on the US of A. I am sitting and watching a soccer practice that got me to thinking. My children are all participating in, as I discussed in previous posts, the Challenger Soocer Camp, aka British Soccer Camp. Young men and women(18-24ish) come to the states to teach he sheltered Americans how to play proper football by honing different skills and showing them about the rabid world of International Football. It was an absolutely fabulous experience for them last year and I expect nothing less this year. As I sit here watching this, enjoyable as it may be, it got me to thinking: what can we as Americans do so much better than the majority of the world that we would send young people on international teaching trips? I mean, truly. We are pretty strong in basketball and American football. Often Americans are sent over to be ESL instructors in countries yearning for the language of the west. It is an interesting question to ponder. We have our faith, which we tend to undervalue, underutilize and over question the power it holds. Maybe that is our British football...
