[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all insights. Thing is, my kid has had excellent technical training and has a pretty good touch on the ball. He usually plays on the wing so he’s generally not in the mix in the midfield. His way of anticipating the next step is to position himself to receive the ball from the midfield where most of the frenzied action is. He doesn’t go in there and try to get the ball but waits. When he does receive a pass he knows what to do with it - runs if there’s space, passes it immediately if pressured. Usually doesn’t lose the ball. But he appears slow overall because he’s just not as aggressive at proactively getting the touches. So I’m not sure if he actually is lacking the speed other teammates have or whether staying in his “zone” on the field is what is making him seem slower. I know he’s not a very top player in general but in terms of his development I’m trying to figure out whether he’s just not aggressive enough or his role as wing is why he looks slow. Would love to know your thoughts. [/quote]
