PSV is de eerste topclub waar een meisje meetraint met de jongens. De 9-jarige Liz Mathijssen volgt een maatwerktraject bij PSV Academy, waar ze zich kan ontwikkelen onder de hoogst mogelijke weerstand. Een grote mijlpaal voor het vrouwenvoetbal binnen en buiten de club.
Something else the book argues is that opportunities were very important, and you can also think that it was the opportunities given to those who had more physical development at the earliest stage increased their likelihood to make it. This is sort of like her getting selected for the special team outside the odds.
I would argue that it is mostly about amount of ball involvement while playing. A kid born earlier in the year will on average be physically stronger and therefore have the ball more and therefore develop skills faster, even if players born later in the year plays an equal amount. When the player born later catches up physical the early born players will have better football specific skills which is hard to catch up on.

Yep. She’s the Outlier - geddit!?
They’re looking for outliers and outliers only. Average players in an academy get thrown in the bin. Just look at what TAA said https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65399672
