Either you are athletic or not.  
You can improve speed by maybe 5% at best 
Endurance is another story but soccer is not a steady state tempo run.   [/quote]

This is not entirely true. I do agree much of improved speed is endurance. We have a brilliantly fast girl on our team who peters out in the 2nd half all the time. You can improve sprinting speed and while I agree part of it is natural athleticism, a good part of speed (in the 2nd half especially) is really endurance. [/quote]

Nothing is entirely true if you parse it. 
There is speed and endurance.  You can train to do more intervals at speed and consider it endurance. Speed loss in a 2nd half or anytime based on fatigue in a soccer game is primarily mental unless the athlete is grossly out of shape in which case both speed and endurance benefit from training

I was giving athletes the benefit by treating them as in shape.    Yours may not be.[/quote]

Most are not in shape.   Very few are[/quote]
