So I've decided to make this blog because I feel that the club isn't doing the best job at covering Quakes academy results, events, game times and so on. Soccer clubs academies are one of the biggest parts of a club around the world. Clubs like Barcelona create players who will feature in their first team and become stars, or produce players and sell them for money. Either way, academies are a huge part of a football club. The San Jose Earthquakes academy is really young and is just starting to come along and produce quality players, like a fan favorite Tommy Thompson. And many more are on the way. I will not waist your time with players who I don't believe have futures as Quakes homegrown players. Thankfully I am not alone in this, there are a few writers who cover young and emerging American talent (Such as Travis Clark of TopDrawerSoccer) but none specifically for the Quakes. Also a big part of this are the players who have graduated from the academy and are (#QuakesAcdemyAlumni) playing in D1 colleges and still strongly pursing that lucrative homegrown contract. Hope y'all spread the word and find my posts insightful and continue to follow the academy more closely and give it the attention it deserves. Follow me on twitter as @QuakesForever. Thanks!
