[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid doesn't practice. He's the best hitter on his 10U team. He's also the best shooter on his basketball team and the best running back on his football team.

My biggest fear is he will be lazy and it will catch up to him. [/quote]

People who play soccer brag about how young they were when they started practicing 6 hours a day…like they say they started at 2.

Considering Messi was sent to Spain to train with Barcelona at 5.
lol at you thinking he will remain the best [/quote]
Some of you never played sports and it is so easy to tell. Some kids have natural talent and they never get passed.

My team mate in high school was the laziest person I knew when it came to practice. He hated practice and wouldn't lift a finger practicing in the offseason (he would life weights and run, but practice? hell no). However, he was a genetic freak and built like a 25 yo man when he was 16. Dominated in high school and then got a full ride to a major program. Some kids are aliens born on planet athlete.

I think we’ve all encountered kids who not only hate studying but simply DON’T NEED to study and they are still able to completely dominate, academically.

Now eventually even those kids will (most likely) propel themselves into a situation where they will be outworked (and consequently outshined/shone) but that isn’t going to happen until they are surrounded by people as naturally gifted as they are, and that won’t be at their local high school.

There are some people who are just natural born athletes.  They’ll probably have to work hard someday, but playing against the little Larlo’s of the world is easy mode for them.[/quote]

There are zero kids on a competitive college team that didn't have to work hard and train to get there. Zero. 
[/quote]

That’s a bold claim with literally zero way to prove or disprove it.[/quote]

Just basing it on my own experience as a D1 athlete (soccer). [/quote][/quote]
