[quote=Anonymous]It is a false dichotomy. You will not succeed in pro or college sports (Or high level youth sports) unless you are an excellent athlete. You will also need a high degree of skill. As a PP said, the least athletic person you see playing sports on TV is a vastly better athlete than almost any you will encounter in your local community, no matter how large your local community is. But you don’t need to look or move like LeBron James to be a phenomenal soccer athlete. That seems to be where people get confused. The average American might not be able to tell what an athlete Messi or Modric is because we are used to thinking of football/basketball/track athletes. Also, you may not be able to tell whether your young child has athletic potential, and there is no reason you should. But a skilled Soccer talent evaluator typically can, based on coordination and other factors that parents generally aren’t trained to see. [/quote]
