[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mediocrity is what happens when you pick huge, seemingly athletic kids with little consideration given to soccer skills, IQ, attitude, or desire. You'd think American academies would have learned after a few decades. They haven't. [/quote] THIS. The overwhelming emphasis on boys who are huge for their age can really hurt the overall team if they don't have the skills or aren't given extra training. DCU isn't unique in this, it seems pretty widespread that teams are quick to take a U14 kid who looks like he drove himself to practice because he's gigantic.[/quote] I might be crazy, but, aren't there different skill levels in small size and average size players? Wouldn't the same apply to physically bigger players? Why is the assumption automatic that 'Big' can't play well?[/quote]
