[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not clumsy giants. The kids we know are really smart, have amazing technical skills, and they are big and athletic.

Thank you.  Contrary to the impression you get reading DCUM, it is possible for a big and athletic kid to have skills.  Just saying....don't kill the messenger.  :) [/quote]

Yeah, I don’t think the clumsy giant cliche is that applicable at top area teams past a certain age group.

For sure, there were plenty of them in the U-littles. But for the most part, big kids still playing at a high level are keeping up with their technical skills if they are serious players. So I don’t think they can be underestimated.

In the same way that someone who is naturally fast is prob going to do speed training so other players won’t catch up or pass them.

The point is, a serious soccer player is also working hard to maintain their advantages AND developing the skills to make sure they maintain competitiveness even if they no longer have those advantages. [/quote]
