Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams has always been accustomed to living life in the fast lane.
He had no other option but to adapt, especially when he arrived at Red Bulls’ summer training camp alongside 40,000 other children in the summer of 2010. To stand out in a crowd so big was no easy task, but Adams made an immediate impression.
“Very quickly in our programme we were able to see that he had something that some of the other kids didn’t and that was really the catalyst in accelerating him through our system,” says Simon Barrow, who works as Red Bulls’ senior manager of player development.
