Goal scorers are at a premium. Many coaches now realize that the best way to beat the various locks and traps is through sheer skill and guile, not brute force. But the reality is that some small players make it big while others fade into oblivion despite equal success at the junior or minor levels. We'll try to answer those questions here today. The difference between 5'11 and 6 feet is one inch.
Some teams also doctor their size stats to make a better impression on scouts.
The same is true of weight. In reality there may be no diffrence between them at all. Instead of salivating over size, scouts should be focusing on a player's actual strength. And when I say strength I don't mean just upper body and arms, but also legs and cardio-vascular. This is a very important element when scouting smaller players.
