[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it's not just any one thing, it's many factors put together, you want to have a well-rounded player. Skill is very important but without explosiveness the player could get throttled by an opponent who is stronger physically. You want to build up that skilled player physically, so that they can exert the skill upon the game regardless of the circumstance, and perform for a longer duration of the game.[/quote]

This is why America sucks at soccer[/quote]

Not the poster you are responding to, but not sure what point you are trying to make. In every country in the world, you need athleticism along with skills and soccer IQ to be a top player. [/quote]

Everywhere else in the world skill is focused on first then athleticism. What good does all the speed or size matter if you your first touch is crap?

Clubs will grab the "athlete" at 12 and try and teach the skills. We do it completely backwards in the States. There is fast and then there is fast with the ball. We tend to ignore the latter because of people who post dumb things like the above. Speed is easy to spot and the one thing that doesn't need to be coached. But we tend to focus more on attributes than skill. [/quote]
