[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the kid, not the age. -Youngest in my class. Varsity all 4 years of HS and then D1. [/quote] I disagree, unless "it's the kid" includes factors such as age, age at the onset of puberty, the popularity of the sport, and the training received prior to high school. The most talented kids might be able to overcome being the youngest, smallest and latest to puberty in a competitive sport, but quite often, kids who are the youngest (less mature), small in size, and late to puberty wind up having fewer opportunities before high school than athletes who are older, bigger, or earlier to reach puberty, no matter how hard they work. [/quote] No. It’s the kid. I was just one example. Some of the best athletes in our circles also have late birthdays. I can’t think of a single redshirted kid who is a star player. [/quote]
