[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a stupid argument.   The most important thing to do is maintain fitness.  After that if your child needs structure to improve instead of just playing their ceiling is going to be much lower than those that don't have to and they should just give up now.  [/quote]

How does maintaining general fitness improve your soccer skills between June and late August?[/quote]

Everyone sees the kid huffing and puffing during pre-season.  Soccer skills are irrelevant if you can't run.   Maintaining fitness is alot easier than trying to get it back.   Swimming,  playing another sport,  running a couple of miles a day all maintain base level of fitness.   Sitting on a couch all day but juggling a ball for 20 minutes a day will do much less for you than staying fit and not touching a ball for a month.  [/quote]

The post is about improving soccer skills for next season

You're saying soccer skills are irrelevant. 
You definitely are commenting on the wrong post.[/quote]
Let me put this into simpler terms since you are either obtuse or oblivious.  Going into pre-season refreshed and fit is going to allow you to hit the ground running excited to play and improve.   Grinding all summer for minimal gains will lead to overall less improvement, overuse, and more injuries in the long run.  [/quote]

Sounds good on paper or as soundbite

But not how soccer skills development and improvement actually works

How did you conclude working on improving your soccer skills equals "grinding all summer for minimal gains"?

How does working on strength and injury prevention lead to more injuries?
If working out in the summer automatically equalled overuse, all the top players would be suffering from overuse. [/quote]
Soon close!!! All top players take breaks! [/quote]
