[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a good question to DCUM crowdsource, actually. Let’s say your kid is a serious player. Let’s say they are very good but relative to comparable peers, aren’t playing that much. Let’s say coaches have no true feedback despite requests. Let’s say you are not a player yourself. Who can help sort out what is going on? Is it coach bias, or a real gap? [/quote]

FWIW, I think parents of players who get all the minutes are also asking the questions as to why their kid is playing the most and rarely if ever subbed out, because you want to make sure you’re reinforcing whatever those are and continue to be able to play a lot.

And I think the answer consists of multiple factors. Some gaps that do show up among equally skilled players are how do they actually implement those skills in a match and under pressure. Like are they connecting with their teammates? Are they always making a difference whenever they get the ball?

There are also differences in soccer IQ
and decision making.

There may also be a difference in composure and grit (being able to play ur best even when ur down for example).

There will also be differences in quickness, speed and endurance.

It just becomes really hard to separate yourself on top competitive teams (ECNL and MLSNext for example) where there is a high base of soccer competency already so I’ve noticed the above as the difference makers.
