What then tends to happen is the club’s only focus on players with outstanding athletic advantages, because it works in the short term. The player who can make quick correct decisions gets overlooked often.

This is crazy. Why not local leagues with less traveling and expenses?. In Spain when I was a kid, I developed skills from 8 to 12. Then we play against other schools. If you were good you played with local clubs... and so forth. Now I see kids playing 7 a side with half the pitch and this helps to develop the technique.
