[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think too many people who have smaller less athletic kids try to convince themselves that technical and IQ are the great equalizer. The truth is the more athletic bigger kid has more potential and comes with a higher reward to the club/coach to keep and develop. Genetics is the number one factor in almost all sports soccer included. The amount of work needed to be put in by the smaller less athletic player just to reach the level to compete with the genetically better athletes is more of a risk for the same reward as working with the more athletic kid. Can it be done? Yes absolutely it can. However its really against overwhelming odds. Im sure everyone would be proud to say my kid is Messi or Lebron or JJ Watt. Reality is most kids playing soccer in the US aren't competing with our countries best athletes to begin with. If they are not already standing out head and shoulders above everyone they are playing with now. The chances of them reaching any type of elite status are even lower. Just have your kids put 100% in whatever they do. Whether it be soccer, studies, video games, or making their bed. Teach them to their best at everything they do every time they do it. If they do they be more successful for it. Good habits carry over to all aspects of life.[/quote]
