Good point. When I first started reading this thread, I thought "soccer has to be harder!" But thinking about it - when I was a kid I would get incredibly discouraged because I very rarely got a hit when playing softball (which is easier than baseball, the ball is nearly twice the size). If someone had told me when I was a kid that it was ok to miss the ball sometimes and that even professionals don't always hit homeruns, I probably wouldn't have given up on the sport. Soccer, on the other hand - well, it wasn't too difficult for me to become a valuable player on a church young women's soccer team.
