Ok peopels im sat here pondering
about teams like dynasty GZ lanche
SC ironmen Trauma so on and so forth
and im thinking are these guys really gifted
or simply just training their asses off
you see i was at campaign this year 4
finals day and i stood there and watched
dynasty mow everyone's ass now these guys were
just coming out game after and playing ball nothing
crazy just organized controled ball which left me
kinda vexxed so what do you guys think are they
that gifted or a bit of everything all rolled in???????

its the same in any sport, practice makes perfect. practice is made easier of course when you have the kind of sponsorship deals that these guys have. But the guys have a lot of natural talent and flair. some of their moves at campaign were incredible (lasoya running down the middle of the Draxxus field mugging left right and center, and the move of the tourney with Lang mugging three of four Russians and grabbbing the flag) training is just a support for natural talent. these guys think of things that wouldnt occur to the majority of 'ballers, just like rivaldo for brazil, tiger woods or michael jordan pulling off breath taking moves in their respective sports. They do train a lot......but just like sports stars the world over, the guys who play 'ball at the kind of level that lang, nielsen, Telford and lasoya do are supremely talented!

....wish i had the kind of vision that Lang has.......(not Greenspan though as he always looks like little boy lost every time that i see him!!!......whats with that????)(greenspan can play seriously skilled 'ball though :D )

well it also depends on how quickly a player will pick up things and what other activities they are involved in.

I think that becuase SAD marshal for the midlands masters we learn a lot just by watching games and setting up fields........setting up the diablo field on my own at STR was a great learning experience........


los of things go into it but natural talent is also important.....:D :D :D

:cool: What???:cool: :D

marshalling doe's help to a certain degree, but hell you need to get out there and try those ballsy moves, then you learn when to do em.
Russian legion train hard but they lack in one area, they aint got te attitude of the yanks.

dude i dont mean it like that, i spent the final day of camapign taking pics for PGI. i think i wasnt clear....they dont seem to have an air of confidence(cockiness) the yanks do, there an awesome team and in no way am i trying to diss em.
maybe that is what they are lacking to take home a title..
