[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alot of this is actually subconscious bias. My kid is a small preteen kid who plays up a year. It's typical for him to be ID'd at any camp as the kid with the best skillset (footwork, quickness, tenacity). He has been recruited by many local clubs and always offered top team. But, when he gets on a roster (multiple coaches, multiple clubs), the bulk of the playing time goes to the bigger kids. It doesn't bother him because he just wants to have fun. But, it's just a nasty habit of American coaches to lean on size over skill. And, well, how's that working out for us on the international stage? Not so great, I'd argue[/quote] Yawn...yet another comment from 10 years ago. When was the last time you actually looked at the roster of the National Team? Pulisic, Reyna, Adams, etc...we're a generation removed from the "size over skill" teams. [/quote]
