Fireant -
Don't doubt some do butI will bet a beer at Battery game that a majority of those commenting don't.
How about you?

ps Sorry Christy Arnold left.

CHT - Show me a highlight real of when Bucktooth was young and I will show you a Ball Hog!!

AK - Buck Tooth perfected his 'ball hog' skills on the streets of Brazil! His teachers (coaches) were his hero's!

How did AI, Kobe, and D-Wade get so good?

Anyone can pick an player..Name me a ball hog from South Carolina that plays on the world's stage and let's keep it in soccer..Basketball? five players on the court gives you alittle more time with the ball

CHT - You missed the point completely! But that's OK ...

Reccos, I'm not sure if you're just reaffirming what I said or not...but just in case, I'll clarify that that is what I mean. Ronaldinho got so good because he took what his coaches taught him and worked it every spare moment outside of practice, ie on the streets, in empty lots, on sidewalks, etc.

AK - Not.

Whilst I do not know for a fact, I venture to bet that his skill was not a result of instruction - but self taught!

(Hence my unwelcome analogy of today's BB stars who developed their amazing talents in the local gymnasium, and not from a whistle carrying coach!!)

That's my point, ie, he did it himself, not with what was done in practice.

AK & CHT, I apologize for not being able to get my point across succintly.

I will now exit the building to my left ...

Missed it the first time but I understand your point now..I did not take the IT factor into consideration

I cant speak to the internal workings of MPSC, but we were fortunate enough to have experienced one of their coaches during a summer camp. I believe it was the acadamy director but can't say for sure. We were impressed with his coaching skills / techniques and how well he interacted with the kids. They may have issues, but it appears they do have the coaching talent. I suppose that finding the right balance of quality coaching, leadership, and politics is the goal of every club.
