[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports is a game of inches and seconds in regards to height, jumping ability and speed.

There are always exceptions based upon a player’s technical abilities. But if the player has great technical skills along with height and speed, he/she would be highly recruited.

If a coach has two players with identical technical abilities and speed but one is 2 inches taller, the coach would pick the taller player. Reality sucks, but it’s true. [/quote]

It depends on the level of soccer frankly. There is still more to a player than technical ability and height, weight and speed.

If a college coach is making the selection there are multiple criteria. Attitude, grades for admission are huge and there is far more digging into a players personality than many here will give credit. College coaches do not want problem players for a inch difference. College coaches are not going to go out on a limb with admissions for a player that is not a true impact player if their grades or tests scores are in question.

There are lots of very talented players that do get overlooked for these and other deficiencies. Not all opportunities will be blessed due to soccer ability or physical attributes. There are many other variables that can become great equalizers depending on the soccer program and coach.

The slightly shorter same as kid with better grades has a distinct advantage in a college coaches eyes. [/quote]
