No offence but I don't think you have read the book properly. The book 'Bounce' looks at the importance of the right practice and environment. Your view is what the majority of the top clubs are moving away from. I have to agree with the Mighty Bears. I work in youth football for a Conference team and the big, fast strong players are the ones who get signed for Bradford City, Rotherham Utd because that is the style of football they play. I know this because the players we get are technically great but not physically strong. Rangers are a totally different league from those sides and should be aiming to bring through footballers not athletes! I know it is easy to bring up the Barcelona story but they had eleven academy players start at the weekend and none of them are fast, big and strong - they are footballers! I hate to say it but the Dhims are ahead in getting their kids attending the same school and training everyday together. In England, the top clubs have educational centres at the training ground and the kids and taken from their schools and they train 1 full day in 1st year, 2 full days in 2nd year and so on. This is the way forward I my opinion - as long as they are training in the right way. As I say it is only my opinion.
