    i have found Alison and the offered course content very good. though for this "the soccer activity", i find the important detail, player height in centimeters not readable. i am mostly using a mobile ios device with PUFFIN browser. i thought the reduced readability may be the ios device; i found the height numbers no more readable using a windows desktop. so it may be neessary to ensure that the pertinent detail (cm value) is more prominent compared to a graphic of the virtual player.
