I found the very subjective attitude to selecting talent interesting. I imagine this is because soccer is a sport that doesn't really lend itself to collecting metrics. Nor is it a sport where physical attributes are decisive. The case of the 5-year-old was also interesting. It makes me wonder: how young is too young to meaningfully identify ability?
