[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A technical player that is small, weak and slow will get destroyed by the fast/stronger defenders.

Hence, small skilled players needs to be moderately quick/fast, and somewhat strong too. Intelligence is important but having the skills and smarts without the speed/quickness/strength is very limiting. [/quote]

Absolutely.  But in real life, the smaller skilled player won't be encouraged to learn how to use his or her body and make intelligent choices because the player will be bumped down to the B or C team or remain on the A team and won't play at all. Trust me.[/quote]

Not so; my son is definitely on the smaller end of the spectrum, but that just means he's forced to work harder on his technical skills and decision-making abilities to compete with the larger boys.  In his case, he has the drive and the love of the game to work hard at it.  Without that drive, and without those technical skills, he wouldn't be able to compete as well as he does. [/quote]
