Don’t forget hand-to-eye coordination, depth perception, reaction time, etc. The US team is comprised of our best soccer players, but not really our best athletes. Regarding the weight my feeling is there is a certain amount of weight in anaerobic (i.e. power/strength) sports that seems to be ideal for each guy and for that player it’s an individual thing. Certain positions you don’t want to lean out excessively.[/quote]
Cardiff: Or watching a 300+lb Texas Tech O lineman pulling and getting out in front of a 170lb tailback on a sweep. Given how prevalent the Spread and Open offenses are now in HS and college, you see some huge AND quick/fast O linemen. The old notion that these kids are just sides of beef with hands has long been dispelled, except for those who persist in their prejudices. Forgetting Euro versus American athletes for a second, I’m more amused by some of the guys who were clearly picked on by jocks in HS taking pot shots at football players now without any idea what they’re talking about.

Funny, all the jocks who used to pick on me in HS are now bagging my groceries at Ralph’s.

Afx: Public high school, I take it? Its a little different for private/parochial/Catholic school. We had seven academic All-Americans on our defensive unit alone.
Like I said, I get the whole “dumb jock” thing, but that’s a sweeping generalization and stereotype, and it doesn’t hold true for everyone.
