I think we can all agree a player like this may be technically strong, but have a low soccer IQ. His/her tactical understanding of the game is very low. I've seen plenty of players like this even at U14-17, though it is very common at U9-12. This is what we want to avoid. We need to develop the technical skill along with the tactical understanding. Remember, in a 90 minute match, 87 minutes will be spent off the ball. Only 3 minutes will be spent on the ball where technique matters most.
