[quote=Anonymous][quote]You can't teach it. I have one child who was so skillful and technical but would not be aggressive. Great midfielder but never won 50-50 balls. When he was younger he could be less aggressive because he had a great vision and could anticipate. His coaches say he is just too nice of a kid. He eventually switched to playing baseball and it suits him. My younger one is so unskillful but so crazy aggressive and tall that coaches love her. I can't believe how much aggressiveness is valued but she wins every single 50-50 ball. She plays ugly soccer and her coaches love it.[/quote] I somewhat agree, but if the kid themselves decides to make a change in aggression level, then they can do it. My son used to be the same, and he is not super aggressive, but he made the decision to up his aggression level, and he stayed with soccer. He does fine. He's not on a very top travel team, but an medium level one, and he has fun.[/quote]
