[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is accurate. Many of the kids now on my kids age group top teams at U15 were really the best ones at age 7. The ones who scored 10 goals a game just running down the field. Couple that with sports-aware or linked parents and a competitive spirit and bingo. 
Some say kids grow into greatness but in this era of trainers, I don’t think that’s true. I have seen 5 year olds with private trainers who have insane skills already. It would be hard to catch up and surpass these kids.[/quote]

You are only seeing the successes. Many others burn out, get injured and either switch sports or give it up entirely.[/quote]

Isn't the question about the successes?[/quote]

I think the point is more about the failures of this pathway to success and to perhaps consider that.[/quote]

Why consider the failures?
Focus on what it takes for success. [/quote]
Because burn out and over use injuries are real.   [/quote]

We in modern day snowflake society overuse these terms to pamper kids

Most these kids aren't putting in half enough work regularly to truly experience burnout or overuse injuries 
Most injuries are poor preparation injuries [/quote]
Got any studies to back that up?  Not soccer specific but pro's in other sports are more likely to have been multi-sport athletes rather than a single sport earlier on.   There might be something to that  or not you do you.   [/quote]
