They need to be fast and athletic and have developed good technical skills but all that are must haves at a top level and the ones that rise above are the ones that are impactful in games because of an above average way of seeing the field. It’s underrated because most parents are idiots. They see their player in training and think he/she is “just as good” as a top player and wonder why they don’t get played more, get the looks for a particular team or eventually for college.

I know a very talented club player, in her junior year. Technical, athletic, what’s her issue? She can’t help but over-dribble. From the back, from the middle of the pitch. Wherever. She holds the ball too long and passing lanes close and defenders move in. She can usually beat the 1st defender, but her field awareness and speed of play suffer from the head down overdribbling amd often loses the ball or misplays the pass after beating the defender. Soccer IQ. Why has no coach ever taught her when and why we dribble. When and why we pass. How defenders close down passing lanes and how to improve her speed of play and field awareness?
Simple... too easy to just applaud her individual effort to keep her and her parents happy and ignore the hard work of teaching the difficult aspects of the games tactics and theories. It’s also obvious to me she isn’t a student of the game, just a decent individual player. We need better coaches, coaches who understand how to make smart soccer players and teach the game, not just a set of soccer skills.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLol. Troll much? Must have hit a nerve. The reason we are discussing this is because most of the coaching around here is crap. Coaches aren’t developing soccer IQ because either they are too lazy or don’t know how. Too easy to just throw some cones down and yell at players to play “faster” in some BS passing pattern.
