[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when is 'aggression' the key metric in evaluating a player? Only in garbage US soccer leagues and clubs. [/quote]

Right, because you see lots of great athletes in any sport that aren't aggressive. 
Troll somewhere else please. [/quote]

DC’s coach said s/he didn’t make the top team because s/he wasn’t aggressive enough on 50-50 balls. Maybe there were other things but that’s what was communicated to us. [/quote]

At least the coach told you something constructive. Many don’t even provide that courtesy.  If you believe the coach is right in their assessment, talk to your kid about it. If they agree ask them why?  Is it physical fear, fear of failure, or laziness?  Fear of failure can be over come. Laziness is a matter of desire and that may indicate that for now they actually do belong on a less competitive team. Physical contact fear can also be overcome, although it is a little bit harder and teaching proper tackling techniques can help. [/quote]
