[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think you should read too much into it but those kinds of comments are usually backhanded compliments.  I think it might also stem from the fact that it's usually the tall, lanky kids who are fast. Most people wouldn't expect a solid kid to be as fast.

And I don't think 100 lbs at 5' is "fat" as PP stated. It all depends on body type and muscle. My DS is 4'9" and 84 lbs. You'd never know he weighs as much as he does but he is as solid as a rock. I wouldn't quite call him stocky because he's tall for his age, but he doesn't look like a lot of his friends and teammates. There is literally a 30-lb difference between my DS and his best buddy on the team.  One of the ways this works to my DS' advantage is that he doesn't get pushed around on the field and he has powerful legs.

My DD is only 6 but she's quite dense, too. You'd never know it because she looks somewhat petite for her age--she's only about 3.5" tall but she weighs over 40 lbs! Almost as much as some of DS' teammates who are over 3 years older than her! [/quote]
