The majority of American soccer players have athletic talent, the raw physical ability, and often the technical ability; however, they have been fed the wrong mental information from their elders, including parents, extended family, and coaches. In turn, the coaches have been fed the wrong information from their respective elders.

Why American Soccer Isn't There Yet analyzes the methods of Brazil, Spain, Holland  where the author has lived and played  and other similar nations. The purpose is to establish a new insight into contemporary American soccer and lay out what its core problem is, how to break it down, and fix it for the future of American soccer, which has the potential to become a prominent world power.
