Hummmmm

Among the 301 athletes, 24.25% reported at least one injury. With regard to height, taller individuals reported more injuries than shorter individuals (62.5% and 37.5%, respectively; p < 0.05). Injuries were more frequent among players with a training duration greater than five years (69.65%) in comparison to those who trained for a shorter duration (30.35%) (p < 0.05). The lower limbs, especially the ankle/foot and knee, were the most affected anatomic sites. Impact was the most common mechanism of injury.

Conclusion
The young practitioners of soccer analyzed had low rates of injury. The main causal mechanism was the impact. A taller height and longer exposure to training were the main risk factors for injury among young soccer players.

Super talented players like them will make the roster but the game is a physical grind. When healthy on the field but over time can get injured and marginalized. More so in the women’s game then the men’s for some reason.

Yes, women who play professional tend to be taller. Once again, they have gone through a filter and tend to be the best of the best. The best of the best tend to have 9 of the 10 most desired qualities.

However, please site your source where shorter players get injured more

As I said before, the majority of players will be at or near (inch or two) of the national average.

3/4 of the field players are 5’-6” or taller.

Yes. Really 5'5 and change. One inch above the national average. Now take out the postions where height is an advantage, goalie and defender, and do another average and you will find that most players are within an inch or two of the national average.

ECNL girls around NOVA and RU are quite tall. My DD has played against some very tall girls. It's no wonder ECNL gets a lot of looks because I have definately seen girls far taller than average for almost all positions. except maybe forward

I've been involved with ECNL for over 10 years and most are average....besides Defenders. Tall strikers are almost not existent.

I litterally just said "except forward". I get goalies have to be tall but I have seen some monsters in ENCL and midfielders. Well above average to top 5% easy

A monster in the midfield? Doubtful Maybe a 6 which is more of a defender type player.

Think they are saying monster goalies and above average midfielders. I've seen every NOVA and RU team for ECNL and they are right.

I'm kid has played them all....for the past 6 years....most are average to slightly above (5'4 -5'7). I've seen some big 6 foot plus defenders. Most are 5'9-5'10.

For years, height and weight have always been almost a matter of opinion – no exact measurements were ever verified. According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, NBA teams are now required to provide exact height and weight measurements. This led to a lot of NBA player height changes

For height measurements, all players will be required to remove their shoes. Most NBA players were upset by this, as they don’t play without shoes on. The height will be rounded to the nearest inch. Weight measurements will be less strict, as players tend to gain or lose weight quite frequently in the league.

Just one team:

Boston Celtics:

Kemba Walker: Was 6’1, now 6’0

Tacko Fall: Was 7’7, now 7’5

Gordon Hayward: Was 6’8, now 6’7

Jaylen Brown: Was 6’7, now 6’6

Semi Ojeleye: Was 6’7, now 6’8

Robert Williams: Was 6’10, now 6’8

Marcus Smart: Was 6’4, now 6’3

Romeo Langford: Was 6’6, now 6’4

Grant Williams: Was 6’7, now 6’6

Carsen Edwards: Was 6’1, now 5’11

Enes Kanter: Was 6’11, now 6’10

Brad Wanamaker: Was 6’4, now 6’3

Philadelphia 76ers:

Tobias Harris: Was 6’9, now 6’7

Joel Embiid: Was 7’0, now 6’11

College football programs often make their players seem larger than life. One of the ways they do that—aside from selling their jerseys in stores or plastering giant posters of them around the stadium—is by literally making them bigger on the roster.


The NFL Scouting Combine reveals a lot about NFL prospects, including the fact that many of them are not as tall or large as their colleges would have us believe. SI.com went through all 332 players participating in the combine and found that a majority were found to be shorter—usually by one inch—at the combine than their college roster measurements indicate.

We counted 28 players that were two inches shorter (and one that was surprisingly two inches taller) than their listed heights.
