Toddlers can surprise you in ways you can never imagine, I have taken out time to evaluate and analyze most toddlers behaviors and I can come to the conclusion that either they are natural footballers or they play football in the spirit world before they were conceived. The reason for this my assertion is that from the moment they form into a fetus, they already start kicking in the stomach and once delivered and able to walk, by natural instincts they would kick any and everything they come across as if it's a football. Just yesterday in our new year church service, one toddler that could barely walk well saw a little soft drink can probably drank by him or another toddler inside the church, and the next I saw was him booting it away like football. I laughed myself out and the woman beside started wondering why I'm laughing in church.
Sorry I beg to disagree without. It is a natural tendency of an infant while still inside the womb of her mother to make some movements. While they are moving inside the womb, it is involuntary tendency of an infant to kick. I would rather agree with you if you say that everyone knows how to kick but not a football player. Children may kick anything they find along the way for they love playing even adults they do kick but they are not a footballers.
Footballers I used here is seemingly used in a literary form and not actual sense professional footballers. It's just their instinct to always kick just about anything is what I'm linking to the act of playing football.
I know what you are trying to drive at. It is very clear that I made mentioned of it like "it is involuntary tendency of an infant" meaning he kicks naturally for he's alive. Not only their instinct but their natural tendency so to speak as a normal being.
Maybe you are referring to the power of the pedigree that indeed some people are superior in strength and that strength is in the genes. But regarding football, it is a skill that is acquired and not inborn. Just like basketball where a boy of a player can grow tall like his father. But that doesn't necessarily mean that that boy will be a basketball player too because the skills of playing is acquired, learned and developed.
Definitely playing football is an acquired skill that needs several training to perfect before one could be seen as a professional or even an armature. But these kids seems to amaze with how they are so good with kicking everything in their as a football, and you can see one who boots it away like he's been practicing for awhile.
