[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the most important skills you think for an athletically gifted player that will separate him/her from average good players? And how to obtain such skills?[/quote]

Coach here,

This is a complex question. The first question that comes to my head is "What age are we talking about?"

If we're talking about the end product I would say first you need technical ability to be able to execute anything. A close second would be decision making (and the speed thereof) . I would follow this up with movement off the ball / overall positioning. I see speed being mentioned quite a bit (jokingly and not jokingly). While several positions do require a great deal of pace, there are also some where "average" speed is fine, especially if you're exceptional at any of the above.

There's plenty of other things that would "stand out" to me. I suppose it all depends on who's point of view you're asking about and in what sort of situation.

Lastly I'll caveat this with Coaches preferences can vary greatly - so make sure you find the right fit that is right for your child.
