William Moravek...Jr. Video at 4 years of age

[Bill Moravek]

Thanks...he is very young still...but shows loads of potential and talent. So we need to keep encouraging him...and cultivating his love for the game so he doesn't become jaded or burn out. There are so many players that have talent but unfortunately have only gone so far due to environment and the lack of proper guidance...and we see this so often with young players and older players for that matter.

bill that was very impressive, the deft touches was most imressive and he was using his body to protect the ball

[Bill Moravek]

When we were at the Dallas Cup last April...he literally had people swarming him to get their photos taken with him...taking video of him..becaue of what you just said. And some of these people were the Real Madrid U-18 players..and some of the Mexican players. Funny enough..more often than not..it is the people from outside the USA that really recognise more.

Just seeing this. I think his skills are indeed exceptional! 4 years old!?! Frightening!

He plays in 4 aside and 5 aside games now...and tears those kids up...which is why we had to move him up with the 8-10 year olds...and even still...he is the most technical of the lot..by far..

I guess we will have to
shop some place else Hope to see him in a game situation soon. I like to see youngsters being encouraged to play with the ball (this sparks creativity) Just imagine if Donavan was allowed to play the way your son is right now? (good thing though . Anyway I wish the best for your son and keep up the good work.

You are right about Donovan...and a whole ton of other players..that have been stifled. the last thing I want him to be doing is passing...I want him to feel free..express himself..show rythm and fluid movements in his dribbiling and playing. But..if I let him play within the existing leagues here..the way they have it set up...you know what would happen.

No he is not eligible for Jamaica...but he is eligible for the USA and England. He is waaaaaayyy better now than in those two videos..he carves and cuts people to bits now...even with the older kids in DC..8-11 he is always the most skillful and technical...being able to run like a gazelle now helps...he is so much quicker and powerful than even last summer..Thanks for the postive comments to all!!

Hey Bill, thanks for posting
those vids. Your son is handling the ball very well for a four year old.
I like the way he can change quickly from right to left (at four years of age). He is enjoying it too (which is important). I am now salivating to see
him in a game scenario (here i can see how he moves against opponents).
Excellent. There may be hope for the USA Is he eligible for Ja too?

What is amazing is that he had only really started playing about 8 months prior...and he is playing against an 8 year old. He actually doesn't dribble against people like that anymore as he uses his body and center of gravityy to greater effect and he doesnt show the ball as much..but for 4 that wasnt to bad. He isnt there by any stretch..I will update a new one soon..so you all can see the difference from just 7-8 months ago

He was doing great!
..at his age it is all about being comfortable with the ball!

[Baddaz]

bill, you really have a protege on your hands... excellent skills for a 4 yo anywhere in the world... very impressive... and the kid looks to be really enjoying the game... that is most important... best wishes for the future...

[Bill Moravek]

Yes!...but he is the real deal as well!

if i didn't know better i would say you are a proud papa!

YES..You are correct indeed!! I actually just got this prgram yesterday which would allow me to download some of these videos I have..people have been tellimg me to do this for ages...I really dont have anything recent though...at least I know I can do the technical stuff on the video :-)

Bill, I watched both videos. Remarkable ball-handling skills for a 4 y/o !!

I know he's still young but maybe now (and especially that he has developed these skills so early) you should look at the videos with a critical eye. As a former youth coach myself, I would work on his strategy in the one v one situation. I notice that he shows the ball a lot. Get him to keep the ball on the foot away from his defender, and to learn to switch the ball to the other foot when the defender switches sides. (just my thought)

Keep him training. Remarkable skills!!!

Bless.
