[quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest, it's rare to hear of a physically dominant player like that being held back or not selected because of needing more technical skill. I'd say that's a sign of someone giving an honest evaluation. It's often the other way around where more physically dominant players (regardless of gender) get picked instead. On the boys side, it is far more common to see the big physical players promoted with a goal of "teaching" the technical skill. That's ok at the U-little ages. But once you get to U14 and up, they have what they have in terms of technical ability. That's why many boys teams (especially in HS) play longball. Overlooking the technically sound, high soccer IQ players who aren't fast or big is a far more common problem.[/quote]
