[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have seen a couple kids all the way through youth soccer. One an elite player, one a B team player. The movement between A and B is virtually non-existent. Most of the movement is among the players of within those teams - who on the A roster is seeing the most time. Almost all of the kids on the A teams have the talent to be there - just depends upon how committed they are. Truly uncommitted kids do drop out, and yes the early bloomers get a brief period to shine while they have 6 inches and 30 lbs on their teammates, but mostly the kids who are the very best athletes at 13 will still be in that group at 18. It is much more likely they will leave for another team, drop out of the sport, or be injured versus replaced by a new B team player that has blossomed.[/quote] Not saying it is, but is another possible explanation that the B team players who were overlooked left for other clubs where they might have become A team players? Just curious. [/quote]
