She's not a young pup anymore.  Age, multiple ankle injuries - it all takes it's toll and particularly on a player who had electric pace in her younger years.[/quote]

I'm a woman and I will tell you my athletic performance in all things really took a hit after pregnancy.   She's 32.  Maybe if someone has a baby at 20 or 22 it would be different and I know there are Olympians that can sometimes get back to peak performance after giving birth--but most do not.

My running and speed and other things just kind of slowed a bit after pregnancy---and then with then next one even more so.  [/quote]

Prime age for soccer player is about 25-26. Positions like forwards age out first. After 30 things go down hill quickly.  First to go is quickness followed by speed. If a player is bigger or game relies on technical skill and soccer iq they can play into their 30’s but not at the same level. [/quote]

No, prime age is about 27-31 for most professional soccer players. Older than that if you are a goalkeeper. (~29-33).[/quote]

No. You are wrong.

[quote] The peak age for professional soccer players is of significant interest to coaches, managers and executives alike. The evidence so far is predominantly anecdotal and subjective. This paper formally analyzes the peak or optimal age in professional men’s soccer using performance ratings of players in the four major top flight leagues of Europe. WhoScored.com ratings from 2010/11 to 2014/15 are used. The analysis is done for all outfield players, separately by field position. In addition to simple age distribution and bivariate approaches, a player fixed effects model that accounts for potential selection bias is estimated. [b]The results show that the average professional soccer player peaks between the ages of 25 and 27. [/b]In the preferred models, the average forward peaks at 25, whereas the typical defender peaks at 27. For midfielders, the estimated peak age varies by model but still occurs in the 25–27 age band. Defenders experience relatively minimal curvature in the age-performance relationship. Further results show that peak age may vary directly with ability.[/quote]
