[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sons played on a Hispanic team. This is the difference I saw.

They learn early to use their body then go for the ball. 
They learn how to knock a kid off the line.
They learn possession ball and pass in a triangle. 
They learn how to defend on the player's shoulder and deny them the ball.

When we would play white teams the kids and parents did not understand that soccer is a contact sport and called the kids names and would say they played dirty. They would scream foul when there was no foul and the kids cried a lot to the referee.

When my son had an English or Scottish coach they would have the defender kick a long ball and try to get it to the striker and score.

When they played for a Hispanic coach they learned how to possess the ball all over the field, steal the ball and had higher soccer IQs.

They watch soccer and play it even when they are not at practice.

The whole family shows up to games, not just 1 parent. [/quote]

My experience agrees with most of this but I’ve also observed with teams at the lower levels the Hispanic teams are still great dribblers and shooters but not great passers or as fast athletically.[/quote]
