[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this happened to my son at about the same age, and his growth spurt came earlier. initially he wasn't thrilled about it. then one coach explained to him and to us that it's really important to be able to build your skill set and that playing defense gives you an entirely different perspective on building the attack. he was right. my son became a strong defender and kept developing his midfielder skill set. last year he got to play at center defensive midfield, a position he adores.  now that he's just made varsity, he's back to defense,  though in a central role because the older, stronger players have the midfield covered. &gt;&gt;all in all, accept the role in defense because it will help your son develop flexibility and versatility. as he gets older, he will play more and develop more if he can excel at  multiple positions on the field.[/quote]

I’m a new poster.  Thanks for this.  My son is a forward (striker and right midfield) and now wants to play defense so he can play any position when he gets older.  At first I was uncertain but I feel that this is actually a good move on his part!  [/quote]
