[quote=Anonymous]You can’t look to the extreme outliers like Thomas Heilman and generalize that to the population at large. He has always been successful and never experienced a slump due to early physical maturity. There are outliers like him - the boys who shoot up early to 6’+ and stay on top all throughout, but there is a much larger group of boys who hit early puberty at 11-12 and shoot up to 5’8 or 5’9, temporarily towering over their peers but then staying that size while their peers who mature later soar past them. The point is that the 13-14 time standards for boys are achieved by those who mature early, but the good news is that clubs and colleges recognize this and work through it, and no college coach gives a hoot how fast a boy was at 13 or 14 years old.
