How to Become a Complete Soccer Athlete?

http://www.soccerathletics.com
Technical development and physical fitness / athletic conditioning are essential to perform your best as a soccer player. Technique is something that can be coached. Fitness and physical conditioning are other aspects that a coach or trainer can develop in their players by implementing regimented athletic conditioning programs. But there are other important qualities that must be developed in order to become the best soccer player you can be. Some of these qualities a coach has less influence over.

Qualities such as maturity, independence, mental toughness, creativity, and what I call that certain X-Factor (or WOW Factor) can be encouraged and modeled by a good coach, but these are characteristics that a player will need to develop on their own. Incidentally, this is the sort of personal development that will not only make you more successful at soccer, but also more successful at life in general. This short video focuses on these qualities.

I agree... technical ability and physical conditioning are key, but all things being equal comes down to the character and uniqueness of a player that separates pros from regular athletes.
