[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. [/quote] It depends on the other sport. My son is a very fast runner when he’s running sprints ( in a straight line or around the track field ), but he also plays squash but isn’t as fast on the squash court where reflex as well as lateral and backward movement also come into play. As one coach once told me, there is a difference between speed and quickness. Your son might have both but you can never tell if he doesn’t try the other sport. [/quote]
