You can’t pick up soccer skills at a later age. You need to be developing both feet from a very young age.
Yes— keeping head up, looking for passes, reading the court/field are similar and complimentary to other sports like basketball, lacrosse, etc. but that’s it. The body/foot thing can not be picked up late in development. American soccer maybe—kick and run, but you will never play like a European.
I love these posts. American soccer, kick and run and you can’t learn to play with your feet when you’re older. So arrogant and so wrong. But, you can’t argue with a one trick pony that doesn’t realize that there is a sports world out there beyond just soccer that takes a lot of skill and hard work. Yes, using your feet is harder than using your hands, no s&@t Sherlock, but everything is relative. You ever tried hitting an 80 mph curveball? No, I didn’t think so cuz you’d just crap your pants as the ball sped toward your head only to drop off at the last second. Easier, my ass Francois.
