[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question, if you want to be snarky please go elsewhere. DD is U15. Has been a very good 2nd level player for a few years. Has worked insanely hard recently and is much better in multiple ways. 
Watched a scrimmage today and what I noticed was that the best girls weren’t necessarily faster, stronger, or more skilled—they just knew what to do in any situation. They are the top level girls. You can see the years of top level coaching and playing quality teams in HOW they approach the game.
As much as my DD has improved, there is a long way to go if she wants to be recruited. 
Is catch up possible?? Or is this kind of a lost cause?[/quote]

What's the goal? Catch up to the top team players from your current club? Make it to D1? Is that what she wants?

Players improved based on their environment. All aspects of it. Better teammates, better coaching, better competition, better training etc. etc. all adds up. You only get so far on your own.

Can she catch up? Sure if the potential is there. The question is how long of a time frame are you looking at? Hell there are young professionals who improve dramatically as young adults when playing in higher leagues. Think of the young superstars who've only gotten better with time and it isn't until their body starts to slow them down that you see a decrease in performance (but not IQ).

So I'll say again, catch up? sure, but compared to what? and to what end?
