If the bigger stronger girl can't run like the wind then I will take a less big, less strong girl with speed. Too much plodding and hacking in todays game. No can argue that the game isn't slower today then it used to be.
No one is saying they aren't incredible athletes but for the people arguing that since the girls are "ripped" they are better players is just silly.
Training in the gym non stop and having natural athleticism on the field are two different things
You honestly sound clueless. The players today are faster than they used to be its just that the defenders have become equally fast and athletic. Used to be that if you were not fast or skilled enough you play defense not so much now. The coaches want to win so if in their experience training in the gym equates into being better players they will do it.
Talk about sounding clueless. Good coaches do not put slow players on defense. Attack is the only position where you can get away with being slow . IQ and good skill can allow a player to excel on Attack with limited speed / quickness . Maybe bad HS and youth coaches put less athletic kids on D but good coaches know the importance of Defense and how difficult it is to play.
