[quote=Anonymous]I think you can always find fun ways to work on speed. My kids love to race each other or be timed. Because they enjoy running, they spend more time running and that means they keep improving their speed. I'm definitely not a soccer expert, but i believe aggressiveness (which I think of as hustle on the field) isn't easy to change. That's more personality dependent. I thought DS1 was a great soccer player because he was fast and aggressive as a defender. He received tons of praise in the early years for his hustle. Now he's 12 and an average player. He recently joined a new team and the coach is pointing out that he's expending too much energy and he needs to work more on ball handling and strategy. Speed and aggressiveness are just not enough. The flip side is DS2 is not at all aggressive. I was surprised he made a travel team but the coach keeps stressing what amazing ball skills he has and not to worry about aggressiveness. [/quote]
