| A returning first-team defender, Cochran earned some time with the U-18 National Team last summer and recently was named an All-American. He is a physical player who dominates the air and should make a quick transition to the college game at the University of Wisconsin. |

Alec (AJ) Cochran, 17, from Ballwin, was recently selected to play for the U18 US National team in 4 games in Argentina and Chile later this month.
AJ will be a senior at CBC and plays club soccer for St. Louis Scott Gallagher's US Development Academy Team. Last year, AJ was one of only 4 Juniors in Missouri to receive 1st team All-state honors. In May, AJ was selected to play in a USSDA all-star game in Sarasota, FL, bringing together the top 16 players in the country from all USDA teams.
In preparation for playing in South America, Alec has been training with AC St. Louis.
AJ was recently invited by the New York Red Bulls to play in a game called the High School Cup, to be held at the Red Bulls new stadium in New Jersey, recognizing the top HS Seniors in the country in an East - West all-star match. Unfortunately, he will have to decline that offer to represent his country. |

AJ Cochran, with the training he will get at Wisconsin, will surprise all his critics when all is said and done. Michler missed a great oppurtunity for not doing daily drills with his air dominance on the offensive end of the field. Some set pieces would have done wonders for the teams lack of scoring in the 2010-2011 season.
Air dominance should never be ignored on the offensive side of the field. And it was ignored at CBC. That won't happen at Wisconsin with coach Trask. Then we will see an outstanding defender be used more efficiantley. I was very surprised that Michler didn't work on that, being that he is a great coach.
