[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Us parents tend to overthink things and forget about our younger days. I got quicker on the field due to playing basketball with my friends, I got faster due to my friends and I constantly racing each other. Think about what those two things entail and there's your recipe. Obviously genetics are a factor but because we have so many different variations of training at our kids disposal vs when we were younger it tends to make us overthink things that tend to be simple.

So in your opinion, what is posted above regarding what the European academies are doing from U8 onwards with experts in sports performance fields is useless nonsense and we should just let our kids play in the woods?[/quote]

Nope but if you have a 8 year old that won't subscribe to a SAQ training regimen lol, it's not the end of the world. Settle down Doogie Howser 🤣[/quote]

The topic is about sport performance improvement. What does the end of the world have to do with it[/quote]

The OP is worried about potentially spending unnecessary money and is wondering if looking into speed training is worth it. Not doing so at a certain age isn't the end of the world 🤷🏾‍♂️[/quote]

Yep that's what I was trying to convey earlier. It's definitely helpful, but at what cost/commitment or will it even matter if mechanics change after growing 6+ inches and entering puberty. Better to focus on other areas at U12![/quote]

What's your background and expertise that you recommend to do the opposite of what the best soccer academies do?[/quote]

I didn't say DON'T do it - I said focus on other things like subsequent posters pointed out. What are the chances we have extremely high level academy parents posting here? I'm talking about typical U12 development and speed training is so low on the totem pole. [/quote]

Also, I do come from a high level in another sport and copying what the "pros" do is a recipe for disaster for the average participant. So quoting SAQ etc, isn't some great argument. [/quote]
