[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your genes dictate the limitations of your ability to be an athlete.  So regardless, you will have a ceiling and people have different levels.  Strength, power, and speed are all different and useful in soccer depending on you, your position, the way you play.  Being explosive is probably the most important thing in soccer, and most sports, as it creates separation.[/quote]

No, technical ability and sound decision making are most important. [/quote]

Why is does Amsterdam Abdellah not get a shot anywhere in the Eredivisie?  Probably best control of the ball in the game, but he's just not an athlete.  There are plenty of overweight people on YouTube that can move the ball anywhere and receive the ball from anywhere--but if you can't move you can't play.  The level of the game dictates that, ODSL sure.  But even by CCL, not gonna happen.  Let alone college, MLS, Europe.[/quote]

You have it mixed up. It’s not unimportant. You’d think that the players you’re recruiting or working with meet a certain level of fitness, so you can look out for other traits that differentiate players who meet a certain standard when it comes to fitness. Fitness is a basic requirement, players have to run for miles in a single match, it’s of utmost importance. But technical ability and decision making are the things you watch out for. If there’s a guy with a touch like a mother’s kiss, you could whip them into shape. You throw a fit guy with no touch, no instincts into a highly technical team? Good luck, their own teammates will eat them alive.[/quote]
