[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attending ID camps at a young age only provides cash for the programs.  A 12 year old players isn't going to be the same at 15 or 16.  The players who are that good at 12 top out and are passed by the ones who will be the top players at 15.  [/quote]

This is just nonsense and often wishful thinking from B team player parents. A 12 year old kid does not get worse at 15. Puberty can be unkind but puberty does not discriminate and usually has a level of detrimental affect for ALL girls across the board. A[b]verage kids are just as prone to get big hips[/b] and even slower than are the standout 12 year old kids are. Skills tend not to diminish but athleticism can and that cannot be predicted. [/quote]

What's this about?  Plenty of great soccer players and sprinters with curvy hips out there...[/quote]

Yup and for some it works out and others it doesn't. The narrative that puberty only negatively affects top younger players is bogus. Focus on that point and keep your triggered in check. [/quote]

Not triggered here, just deeply puzzled.  So, you weren't trying to say that development of bigger hips is detrimental to soccer ability?  If not, why are you talking about hips at all? [/quote]

Bigger hips doesn't generally make a kid faster. Are you arguing that it does? [/quote]

I’m arguing that hip size is not related to speed or athleticism at all. You are the very first person I’ve ever encountered who made that claim. Just wondering where you pulled that claim from. [/quote]

show me a curvy world class sprinter[/quote]

Sydney LeRoux was incredibly fast and I would consider her curvy.  I have noticed as a general trend that short players are faster.  Maybe a greater density of short muscles.[/quote]
