[quote=Anonymous]Of all the side quests this thread could pursue, we've decided that attacking the SSDM position is the one.

Multiple things can be true, especially in high school:
 - good SSDMs are extraordinarily valuable
 - some SSDMs become so because of bad stickwork or offensive ability

Another thing worth noting that gets lost from summer lax dad logic is that high school games are significantly longer than club games, with players logging way more mileage and minutes. Playing two ways for huge portions of these games isn't sustainable for entire seasons without degrading performance and increasing fatigue and injury risk.

Additionally, specialization increases practice time for kids on that side of the ball - more time for offensive and defensive players to get reps on what they'll do more of in games.

Both the realities of fatigue/game duration and the value of specialized practice push for the SSDM position. Add in the value of good SSDMs and the position is here to stay. [/quote]
