[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coach here:

[b]Players are as technical as their coaching environment demands them to be.[/b]

The younger they start the easier it is of course and it does take time. That being said a lot can be done in just a couple years if hard work is put in.

Having coached both boys and girls I'd say the main difference is just speed and power. In fact due to the slower nature of the womens game I would say it's even more important to be technical for them, despite what the top 1% of teams can get away with.[/quote]

I agree with most of what you said except in the bolded area above. My DD’s coach didn’t emphasize the importance of technical skills and barely focused on it during practice. It was me that encouraged her and stressed the importance of technical skills to her several years ago.....including juggling (LOL). [/quote]

You miss the point.  The poster clearly means that if a coach stresses it then it is stressed, if a coach doesn’t stress it then it is not.  Your stressing it as a parent is great but as you said it was you.   [/quote]

Parents should always stress technical training. If your player is not terribly technical, then selecting a team that the coach emphasizes technical development AS WELL AS doing outside work is important.

If your player is very technical then finding a team with similarly skilled players is more important than the coaches focus on technical development when they may be more ready for tactical development. These kids should still highly emphasize technical development away from team activities on their own. Most likely they had already which accounts for their current technical level. This doesn’t mean that the coach doesn’t work on the technical aspect but it is a different ratio than what the previous player should expect. [/quote]
