[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the money in the world isn't going to create a world class athlete.  The average rich kid is better than the average less affluent kid who can't afford all the training.  The truly exceptional are born that way and can come from the poorest of poor backgrounds.  The question comes in how these kids get identified.[/quote]

Kind of true. Kind of not true.

The most physically talented players in the world without any training will get beaten by normal players with high level training.

Most NWSL players are between 5'5" and 5'7".  Also females don't get a huge body change from puberty.

What this means is in the Women's game especially with youth providing high level training and specifically training players to play as a team you can dominate. Defined set pieces, out of the back patterns, and general possession will beat most youth girls teams. What youre looking for from mids and defenders is consistency and no mistakes. Throw in a couple of naturally talented forwards and you can beat almost anyone.

San Diego Surf has $$$, location, fields, leadership, all figured out and functioning at the highest level. This is why they win all the time.

Mens/boys soccer is different because the effects of puberty and natural physical ability can overcome possession, playing as a team. and high level training. This creates an arms race for the most naturally talented players in all positions who also have high level training.[/quote]
