feet tall -- Can I be good at field hockey?     I am
disadvantaged in some ways: my arms are not as long as other
players and therefore I do not have as long of a reach. I am
fast but I don't think opponents perceive me as a threat. I have
better ball control than others at my level. What should I do to
become a great field hockey player? Is there any advantage to
being short and slender that I should exploit? :eek:oh: :(
I play forward...I'm just wondering, are there any good
midfielders or defense out there that aren't tall?   2. Offline

great player build is not the be all and end all, you just need
to exploit your strengths to their max...     you said you are
fast and have good control, I would work on your control at
pace, and maybe as you get better in
