[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a failed remedy to attempt to be like Europeans or South Americans; our culture is different and our players are different.  An athlete that shows potential and promise with his technical skill will be infinitely better than a “footballer” that can’t hang on the field.  Pressing, tackling... these are still important components of the game.  It doesn’t matter if your kid can do 30 Cruyffs in a training drill, it matters if he can influence the game.

Stronger and faster people will always have the higher ceiling for development over the weaker and slower people.  And the more those athletes play and compete, the more development they get.  Regarding the gold analogy, go play golf.[/quote]

Based on what I have seen on the boys side, most “athletes” on soccer fields here in NOVA cannot hang with football or basketball players athletically. That is why many of them are playing soccer. So it’s all relative. So I would tell the speedsters you go run track or play football, but they have already probably come up snake eyes on those. If you don’t believe me, try watching most athletes in soccer try to play those other sports. It is often painful. Not a lot of hand eye coordination and not a lot court speed. There are, of course, exceptions that prove the general rule. [/quote]

We’re going to agree to disagree—it’s measurable and scientifically proven.  There’s a reason why so many skillful technical players phase out: it’s their lack of strength and power.[/quote]

Well no.  If anything it's proven the other way.  How do the best teams in the world select and develop players?  Not the way you are suggesting.[/quote]
