[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people can get fast enough to compete at the HS level. Not saying they'll win meets but they can compete and have fun. The idea that you can't build sprint speed to compete at the HS/teen level is absurd. [/quote] I guess it depends on what you mean by competing. Even with extensive training, a kid without a genetic predisposition for speed will not be competitive with naturally faster peers, even at the high school level. Similarly, if a kid is not good at hitting pitched baseballs, thousands of swings in the cage will make them better, but they won't be competitive unless they possess the innate abilities suited to hitting a small moving object coming at a high rate of speed.[/quote] This is some massive "if you ain't first you're last" energy when the OP is talking about their daughter not wanting to be last in all their races, geez.[/quote]
