[quote=Anonymous]Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you mean your child isn't aggressive in they never win 50/50 balls, won't go push other players off the ball, will let a team mate go fight for the ball instead of getting in there and tussling over the ball- then there isn't much hope. My 12 year old is quick, really smart in knowing where to go/where to pass (coaches say he is the smartest player on the field), and  has the most amazing technical skills. If you saw him at a tryout or practice juggling over 100, being the best at any technical or passing drill, being the most focused, and one of the quickest players out there, you would think he was the playmaker on the field but he isn't because he lacks aggressiveness. We have tried getting him private training, coaches have tried drills but he just lacks the desire to physically push kids and get the ball. We live in CA be so he has played club since age 7.  So he can dominate  in rec soccer and is only mediocre in club. He is now 12 and we realized at 10 he wasn't going to have a really competitive future in soccer so he started playing basketball and baseball for fun.

In contrast his younger brother has awful technical skills, doesn't pass well, is lazy at practice but is so aggressive when he plays n games he makes things happen. Coaches end up loving him. It drives my husband bonkers. If we could combine our kids we would have a superstar. [/quote]
