Interesting story about a drafted professional soccer athlete from the African republic of Ghana who has recently completed on November 18, 2009, his six year contract with United team in the Major League Soccer. Of noteworthiness is the fact that he is the youngest and most highest paid since the inception of the MLS. Adu’s basic salary is $500,000 with increasing earnings as he signs into agreement with sporting goods sponsors. Adu is reported saying that he intends to financially assist his single mother with his earnings. Despite the high level of stress this adolescent will experience in professional sport, he perceives this opportunity as "I know I'm not going to be at my best every day. I know there are going to be days when I'm going to be terrible. I chose this life as my career, so I have to deal with it."
