Many young football players face challenges related to their height, making it difficult to compete against physically mature adults. While Aleksandar PavloviÄ overcame these challenges with a late growth spurt, others like Lennart Karl leverage their smaller statures to excel. Karl highlights his speed, dribbling abilities, and low center of gravity as assets, while acknowledging the need for enhanced strength training. Ultimately, what might seem like a disadvantage can transform into a playerâs unique strength on the field.
For many young players, not growing enough is a problem... Aleksandar PavloviÄ often struggled physically... before a late growth surge played its' part in his stock rising...
Lennart Karl spoke of his strengths... 'I'm very fast in the first few meters... my low center of gravity helps me establish myself... especially when dribbling.'
Of course, that also means I have to work harder on my athleticism - especially in strength training, so I can hold my own better in duels.
Of course, Karl still gets shouldered off the ball plenty of times, but he drops his shoulder and glides past his opponents... using his low center of gravity to keep the ball perfectly under control.
