[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a freshman on track and is naturally fast without training broke 11 seconds on 100m already.

But that is on a track, with track shoes etc.

He is not that big (5’8”) but some of the coaches are already mentioning football and to get a 40 time.  He has never played football and not sure if they time him on the track in track gear or are they timing them on grass/football cleats?

I do not want him to play football so hope it is on grass and will have a slow time.

Speed is useful in so many sports.

If you don't want him to play football, expose him to soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and maybe he will prefer one of those.

Or you can get excited about the possibility of him playing football.  Hint that you look forward to going to all the practices to cheer him on and work the sideline refreshments.
If that doesn't work (and I have trouble imagining the teenage boy that wouldn't immediately find something else to do if his mom said something like that), talk about the crush you had on several football players when you were in high school, be sure to say these exact words "football players have soo much [b]rizz[/b]"
If that doesn't work, you should take your son to a psychotherapist, he might be insane.[/quote]

This is such a strange post. [/quote]

My medication wore off between the end of the second sentence and the beginning of the third.  Sorry.[/quote]
