I find this interesting on Bergkamp describing the Ajax youth he encountered.

Now in my son's journey...

He's more hype to play or show me something or play panna.

Unique? In rap everyone has their own flow. Everyone's grandma cooks the same dish a different way in their own flavor.
Dinho expressed his ability different from Messi. Body type, culture, environment, what comes natural, creative.

Player who seems truly unique? Like i said I'm all for training but now with my sons journey starting we are playing on the courts here in holland for hours, we play in the house.

States. With the ball and personality. I liked @FirstTouchDev post yesterday about us rushing development.
Parents, coaches want to instill Ronaldo training habits but no clue of the environment that made him.

Could those kids be dropped in Brazil or streets of Paris and
Ball? Would they stand out being in an uncomfortable environment?
Unstructured just raw street ball?
Are the players unique or do they and their parents feels training makes them special?

This is everyday at the courts now here in our small village in Schagen. I've noticed my son's ability and thought process change in these 10v10 matches.

More from Bergkamp. No saying anyone is right or wrong I just want to challenge my own thinking and process.
Also take into account the culture and system I'm dealing with. In Holland
