[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I find interesting in all this is what is athleticism.  We can argue all day on that too.  Back I asked what fast is and I got 5-10 yard speed.  So if we timed all the kids on 5 yard sprints, what would be the greatest difference?  What if we did 10 yards?  It's nothing.  I remember Cruyff saying something like....he wasn't fast.  He just reacted quicker to the ball so it made him look faster than the others.  So if someone chimes in with 40 yards...how many times do kids need 40 yards dashes in a game.  I mean...sometimes. Running onto long balls.  So I love how everyone just throws the word "speed" around.  Then to just throw the word "Athletic" around.  And Agility and coordination.  I just have a feeling you have no idea what the F you are talking about other than you know these words and you know it's good for a kid to have these things...but you really have no idea what they are and how they apply to soccer.  And then soccer IQ.  It's great that we have so many people that can judge kids' soccer IQ.  I would love to know how you compare the kids's soccer IQ. Obviously we can tell a kid who never passes vs someone who does but to pick apart kids on top teams, I'd love to know how you you define it. [/quote]

Good coaches can spot IQ but most, as evidence of this thread simply don’t respect game IQ enough. [/quote]
