[quote=Anonymous]Mine flop back and forth. 2.5 years apart. Both were good at different times over the years.  Base level good--but sometimes the little one was kicking butt and getting accolades and the older one was getting cut and back and forth like that.

Now older one is D1 and has more drive.  Physically he is much more stocky/muscular.  The younger one is more agile skinny.

Skill wise they are both technically sound.  It was hard when one was getting attention while the other was facing crushing blows.  The younger one was loved and it wasn't until the first time he got royally screwed over in the sport that he finally understood what his brother went through a lot.  The older one was like Charlie Brown--things never went his way. Beloved coach leaves, new one cuts him. Injury right before a tryout. Birth year change at critical age, etc, etc.  Part of it is knowledge as parents, we saw the ways are older one got screwed over and we knew what to avoid with the younger one who benefited from the mistakes we made with older brother.

BUT--the older one is gritty as hell from all the crap he went through.  He really had to want it to keep playing after some of the shenanigans he faced from people that were supposed to be 'adults'.[/quote]
