[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speed alone wont work when you get to olders and need to battle against sasquatches that are too big to get around. Also defenders get faster when you get to the highest levels.

What works is speed, skill, aggression, and enough size to not get pushed off the ball. (Offensive players) Somehting else that people dont talk about because it's a Grey area for getting flags is using your arms to push off / create space is critical. Also also you need a group of players you can depend on for rondos / give and go's.[/quote]

This is so true.  DS has speed and decent size, still working on skill and aggression.  But has enough to play for an academy team.[/quote]

Define aggression as it relates to being a high level soccer asset [/quote]

Not the pp but I think of it as willing to battle, do the dirty work, get stuck in on tackles…[/quote]

This term Aggression we push here for soccer have kids copying American football mentality and physicality instead of the fine arts of high quality soccer

That's why we're behind in soccer game intelligence compared to top countries [/quote]
Ive seen top 10 nationally teams lose because they focused on trying to hurt the other team instead of focusing on skills and on field play. Most teams are a reflection of their coaches. [/quote]

Don't forget the soccer ignorant parents who've been yelling at the kid in the car that he/she needs to be tougher and more physical, to fill the missing soccer skills gap [/quote]
I've seen parents put together camps to teach other parents kids the "dark arts" of physical play. It just blew me away that parents would put together a "camp" to teach other parents kids how to cheat + hurt other kids and not get caught doing it.[/quote]
