Peyton Miller, a 17-year-old defender for the New England Revolution, aims to enhance his skills and welcomes constructive criticism. After playing 10 games last season, he has become a regular starter, making 16 appearances since March. Miller, who joined the Revolution Academy at 13, acknowledges the positive influence of veterans Andrew Farrell and Matt Polster on his development. He appreciates their honest feedback and prefers direct challenges rather than leniency due to his youth, demonstrating his commitment to continuous self-improvement before facing Austin FC.
"I've been able to train with them [Farrell and Polster] since I was about 15, and they've helped me a lot. They've encouraged me to keep learning from my mistakes. Mistakes are just a part of it."
"They're also not afraid to tell me if I'm doing something wrong or even yell at me. That's what I want. I don't want anyone to baby me or be soft because I'm young. I want them to be hard on me because I want to get better."
