[quote=Anonymous]For instance, if you have a 9 year old and a trainer has them running up hills and around the track I would ask them why are they building power and stamina at 9 when they have no muscle yet and they have unlimited time to work on their feet as their training schedule is less demanding.

If you have a striker and your trainer has them collecting balls only on the ground ask them why are they doing that when many of the balls they receive won't be on the ground when they play.

If you have a midfielder and your trainer is never requiring them to receive the ball with pressure on their  back ask them why not and suggest trainings with pressure.  If they can't produce that look elsewhere.

If your club is playing your son up because he is physically developed but he has weak fundamentals don't be excited by this prospect...ask the club why are they playing him up when he needs to work on his fundamentals.. Relying on size at young ages while neglecting your fundamentals is death to the player as they get older..

Just a few examples...[/quote]
