Many moons ago I used to coach Girls basketball teams in prep for college ball. One saying that was true but offended some. "You can't teach height". Another one almost as true was "you can't teach speed".

Just saw that we have a 17YO - Josh McDonald- in the U-18's clocked at 23mph. That is really, really moving. That outruns any defender at any level on a straight ball chase. Lot more to the game than that but does make you wonder what we could do with someone that fast at striker position.

If we are in the championship next year I really hope he gets a run. "you can't teach pace".
