I stumbled across this great video today of Robin van Persie back in Holland playing soccer with his friends. Notice what he says 'I was playing in the cage when I was four', and more importantly 'taking thousands of shots a day'... yes, that is how he nurtured his left foot!
Talent is one thing... but playing for hours and hours a day makes good players great!
