[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is still pretty young, but so far it seems like the kids who are really good technically are not so great tactically and vice versa. It's so interesting to kids with these fancy moves but making terrible decisions under pressure. They're doing all these juggles before practice and while waiting for instructions, and trying to show off their moves during scrimmages. But they hold on to the ball too long and either lose possession or make straight up bad decisions when passing. My child is the other way around -- not the best technically, but they have a pretty good vision for the field, they don't hold on to the ball too long, and mostly make good decisions about when and where to pass and when to shoot. They get a lot more playing time than the teammates with the fancy footwork. Not sure if that's coach specific or how it would be elsewhere too. [/quote]

A technical player is a master of the techniques of the game (first touch, passing, shooting, dribbling, tackling the ball all under pressure.) These type of players have a high speed of play. Many time you can see them waiting for other players. If you try to tackle them or press them the ball is off their foot before contact is made. They take a bad pass, make it good and are equally good with either foot. Coaches have to ask which is their dominant foot. They are sometimes faster with the ball at their feet vs without it.

The difference between a technical player and other types of players is the ability to play under pressure and in tight spots. Any player can see the field and pass with no pressure.
