[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did soccer work out for your kid in the long run? Just curious what the next couple years might look like as mine heads into middle and high school. Their speed is probably the only true standout aspect of their play. They can close down on just about anyone including high level players. Also a good passer. Not the best technically (but has improved) and decision making is lacking at times.

For those with a kid like this, did they stick with soccer or switch to track/cross country or something else? Kid works hard in practice and supplemental group training but isn’t that kid doing lots of things on their own. Not yet sure if they will decide they want to put that kind of work in or not. I can’t imagine they can get to that next level with just speed, but I admittedly don’t know much about soccer and what coaches look for as they get older. Just curious to hear how it turned out for kids who are similar. [/quote]

Mine was average skilled but fast. Honestly she was at some times not really into it and would disappear for big chunks of the game. Though she remained on the top team. This happened because once every third game or so she would just run by everyone or some how show her speed in a meaningful way.

It seemed she would make the highest team where she was able to run by everyone. Not much more to it. [/quote]
