not to quibble with your assessment, but before you film, it's 20 seconds, I think. Not 20 juggles.

And I don't think it's just whether your player can do it, it's the control and compared with others.

same with a 10m sprint. Of course everyone can do it, but how do they compare.


Ok, I stand corrected about the juggles. Still don't think it's that high of a standard (I'm pretty sure everyone on DS's team can do it) but that makes sense about it being an exercise in seeing how you compare with others. I *still* don't think this is a complete assessment bc what's the point of these skills/athleticism if you don't know how to use them effectively in games, no? But maybe they'll combine it with Taka scores so figure stuff out. Who knows. I think I'm just annoyed having to spend more time on this just so DS can play.

Ours said both also
