[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look nerd kid parents.  Yes. Starting earlier,  helps. A kid who's athletic is ALWAYS going to be better eventually than Larlo at some point. If they start playing and become dedicated.

I know many of you are like, "What about Messi? He is small." He is also a world class athlete. Most of our kids, statistically all, are not. You hate it but it's true. Being bigger,  stronger and faster in basically every sport gives you an advantage.

For those of you saying NFL players aren't athletic, you have no idea.  I worked with a guy who was on the Falcons practice squard for a couple of years, so not even a top player. He was older and not in playing shape and he still could do things athletically we all wish we, or our kids, wish we could do.

As for why some of you insist you prefer soccer uber alles, I'm convinced it's because you find it easier to dad or mom coach. In football you are separated from the field too much. You can't give your kid your "expert" advice as easily.[/quote]

When you can show me an offensive or defensive lineman who can run, sprint, jump, change directions quickly while executing technical skills for 90 minutes,  then we can compare football to soccer overall athletic qualities

Bigger faster stronger has limited applications in sports requiring highly technical skills and high IQ[/quote]
