being a superb athlete at one of those sports does not mean you would a superb athlete at soccer. The physical and especially mental traits needed for soccer are much different than those that are needed for american football. It seems to be a poor excuse for why we are not better at soccer that is always thrown out there.

Haven't read the thread yet but you have three types of muscle fibers.
Slow twitch everyone knows.
What most people refer to as fast twitch is really type 2b. Those are the sprinters, basketball and football players.
The best soccer players are type 2a which is kind of a hybrid of the first two types.
To conclude, different athletes.
