[quote=Anonymous]16-18 is when everything starts coming together as far as a player's development. You need the physical aspect, as a top player should be fit to perform at their best level for the duration of the game. You need the psychological aspect, as a top player should be mentally tough to withstand the rigors of top level games, as well as to have the determination to put in the work. You need the technical aspect, which should have been developed for the most part before U12-13. Usually a player either has a good touch or they don't and it's hard to teach when not in the formative years. And finally there's the tactical aspect, which should have been introduced and worked into a cohesive system at around U13-14. Frankly, looking at those 06s will tell you very little about how well-rounded those players will be when they are 16. A lot can change between now and then. The best thing you can do for your 06 player right now is to have them get as many touches on the ball as possible, start working and emphasizing the concepts of possession soccer into your sessions, and observe them carefully as they develop so you can pinpoint 1 or 2 positions/roles which best fit that player's skillset.
