Carli Lloyd's path to coach James Galanis started with a humble plea from her dad: "My daughter needs you." A talented midfielder who had excelled since she was 5, she'd been cut from the under-21 U.S. national team. More recently he has worked with Yoreli Rincon, a promising 22-year-old midfielder who plays for the Colombia national team. When she was named FIFA World Player of the Year in January, she thanked Galanis. Galanis has worked with other national team players, including goalkeeper Hope Solo and former defender Heather Mitts.
