This a request to the Coaches that will be picking each Division/District Teams.
Please consider when putting your players up for nomination not only a player's statistical imformation, but WHO was the difference maker on your team? The player that sets up the goals, the winger who just ran 40 yards and crossed a perfect ball. Or the keeper that makes a save or just by their presence forces that forward to shoot wide on a breakaway and would have given the opponent a lead. What about those defenders on the backpost who save a sure goal on a cornerkick. These plays also change momentum, but can't be quantified, and this coming from a statistian who has tried to find away. It's easy for HS Football coaches with reels of video to look at. From a soccer Coaches perspective it is much more difficult.
All this to get back to the point, everything can't be measured by numbers, Who is the most critical player to your teams success, and do they make a difference every game (if not almost all). They are the ones who should be awarded this honor, not just because you won the district should you be able to put so many on 1st team. Only those who deserve it.
