Erick Sanchez is ahead of his time - by three years, to be exact.
The talented 14-year-old striker plays with the boys U18 Houston Dynamo team, mostly, because he can.

He's quick enough, skilled enough and smart enough. Listen to his explanation on how he handles the physicality of competing against older players, for instance. "The faster you play the less they can get to you," Sanchez said. "You just have to keep it to one touch, two touch and move it. As long as you play fast and sharp you don't get hit."......
