USMNT's coaching methodology has undergone significant changes. In 1993, the United States Soccer Federation hired Rinus Michels to report on the state of football in the country.

What did Michels find?

Michels identified regional diversity as a potential issue, but his report was followed by one from Carlos Queiroz, who proposed a national philosophy.

How did this impact USMNT?

The implementation of this philosophy led to the creation of a national training center and regional ones, resulting in the development of talented players like Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, and Weston McKennie.

What comes next for USMNT?
