[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some coach will always take a chance on a player that has exceptional speed.  Have seen so many of those types though that dribble right out of bounds, always take a shot with no angle what so ever, only to have it hit the outside of the goal, or go right to the keepers hands who is on the near post, out run their team so have no one to cross the ball too.  Develop the other aspects of your game and then your speed will be effective. This reminds me of the football coach who is always keeping an eye out for the track star thinking they can turn them into an elite player, only to have them returning punts after 2 weeks.[/quote]

+1 I was the fast kid with poor ball control. I ended up playing collegiate d3, but could have easily played d1 if I had put effort into technical skills. I slacked and barely practiced, but speed still got me to the top of the pecking order until college came around. I regret not refining ball skills more given my speed, but I don't know that my parents could have convinced me to try harder when I was younger.[/quote]
