Most would say that, in sport, creativity and talent is more important than physical abilities. This is a myth, in my opinion.

Physical abilities, often measured in term of speed, power and endurance, is important in any sport, particularly in team sport and contact sport. Lacking the physical skill will only make your creativity and talent overshadowed.

Focused on soccer, Stronger Soccer, a knol by John Smith, describes the drills from Nike SQARQ Training to improve soccer skills.

The Training involves endurance, explosiveness, agility and speed training - all the needed training drills that a soccer player need.

Following the drills carefully will eventually help you on becoming a better soccer player. I strongly believe that creativity, combined with good physical ability, will help an athlete to perform well.
