[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People especially kids and people learning tend to focus on what comes quickly and they do well

So a slow kid with skill gravitates tonthat   And a fast kid gravitates to that.  Both are typically complimented by others for their strengths.

Simple example: this Sunday group training session focused on dribbling.  The trainer complimented my son for his dribbling.  I reminded my son that he has 2 feet to dribble with and a defender will take 1 away so I was not impressed that he just did what he was already good at.  He is there to learn and improve not just his strengths but his weaknesses

I would say the most important skill is touch.  But more important than that is developing desire to improve and compete.  Ronaldo’s greatest attribute is constant striving to improve.  Same for Messi.

It’s not wanting the ball more in the moment.  It’s wanting to be your best and grind over years.  Not a season not a summer or a Sunday.   It’s falling in love with the game and giving her your heart and soul
