[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All Pro level players are superior ATHLETES first that learned technical skills. Never do you see a technical player learn to be a superior athlete. With that said Ill take my chances developing the kid who's an athlete over the the skilled kid with mediocre genes. [/quote]

No, develop them all and let time sort it out.

God people are so dumb. [/quote]

This is what 99% of travel parents want to hear . "develop them all". Reality is its only the 1% that will actually develop to a high level. [/quote]

No, you can develop every player to their potential. That is why we have A, B and C teams. But those early team designations should not be a sentence   [/quote]

So we agree even the least athletic pros are superior athletes? So the odds are the athletic kid has a better chance developing technically than the non athletic technically sound kid developing into an athlete?  Athletics are what they say they are ATHLETIC . Athletes who develop skills are far more common than the opposite.[/quote]

I don’t even know what point you are trying to make. Pro soccer players have all 3 components. And among pro players there are differences in the level of components each player has compared to others.

But until puberty is done an assessment on athleticism cannot and should not be determined. But technical and IQ can be developed. Frankly, technical and tactical are really all a coach can develop. Athleticism takes care of itself. So basing development of youth players on early athleticism that could simply be attributed to RAE is a long term mistake.

If a players athleticism is dominant then that player should be placed in an environmental where their athleticism is nullified. But parents don’t like seeing their kid struggle on the field when it is more fun watching them score hatricks. [/quote]
