Player Ceiling Percentages

[Guest]

What percentage of a player's ceiling can be attributed to:

• Talent? (athleticism & intelligence)
• Familiarity with teammates?
• Coaching?
• Other?

[Guest]

are we really that out of drama?

[Guest]

Talent sets the ceiling. Experience and work ethic determine if the ceiling is reached, but those factors can be influenced by coaching and luck.

• Talent? (athleticism & intelligence) 50%, let us be honest some are born with the genes capable of it and some simply are not
• Familiarity with teammates? 0%
• Coaching? 10%
• Other? Remaining is probably mostly on player's time spend on training, resting properly, studying the game, nutrition, etc,

If you want to be the best, you need to play for the best. Crossfire is the best club ever!

I think this conversation would be more interesting if you broke out talent into athleticism and intelligence.

I think it would be more interesting if you broke athleticism out into speed, strength, agility, and vision

What do you mean by vision? Passing Vision? Or do they need glasses?

[Guest]

Which is more important to reach your potential? The quality of your teammates or your coaches?

My experience — two kids (boy and girl) playing in college and my youngest currently on an ECNL team - ultimately it becomes 80% athleticism + 20% desire/determination (from the kid, not the parent).

The players on the field at U17 and beyond are the biggest, fastest, and strongest. Skill & intelligence matter, but every coach thinks they can polish a diamond in the rough.

Just look at the GK for the USMNT as an example
