[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s purely Economics....Supply and Demand.

Parents strongly believe that winning is development. Hence, they look for high ranked teams with lots of wins.

Clubs/Coaches are supplying this demand by getting big, fast and athletic players to provide immediate wins and utilize kick & run tactics. Developing players takes a lot more effort and time which lots of parents comprehend so they leave.

Also, seasoned parents know that coaches don’t develop individual technical skills. Players have to learn and practice on their owner via private coaches. Team coaches works on team tactics, soccer IQ and passing.

Until parents all understand this, some coaches have not other choice then to supply immediate wins. [/quote]

How do you coach soccer iq? It’s like hitting a fast ball. Some player have it and other do not. [/quote]

You’re kidding, right?  How do you teach calculus?  [/quote]

+1. Soccer IQ is decision-making. Do you think elite soccer players are born with soccer IQ. Great players spend a lot of time watching game films of their team but mostly of their opponents. This is true with any team sports (football, basketball, etc.)[/quote]

Center mids are the quarterbacks of the team.  They really have to be smart.  It's proven their IQ is higher/faster processing speed.

Both my kids are center mids and so was I.  They both have over 4.3 gpas at tough private school and barely study.  I've seen some really technical kids with speed that just suck at center mid.  They can't think ahead or process the field that fast.[/quote]

Soccer IQ is learned via teaching, learning from game films and lots of playing time. Heck, even playing FIFA video games help. But what helps the most is a player that has great technical skills & first touch so that they are able to look up and know where their teammates & opponents are.[/quote]

^ I forgot to add that skills, particularly, being able to pass with either foot with the proper pace and accuracy to a teammate. [/quote]
