[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was a late developer. He’s 6’1” now and played a different sport. There was a period where he struggled against the boys who were early developers. He wasn’t the only late developer in his friend group so there was about of support. What I found is that the late developers adapt. They became more technical to keep up and dont rely upon their size/physicality. Once the late developers caught up, they exceeded the early developers who didn’t have as strong of technical skills. It’s a painful period, but could work to their advantage if they focus on the technical skills in the near term.[/quote] This is exactly what my son’s coach told me: it will all even out and he will be better off at the end having competed against bigger and stronger for years. He’s now 14 and still not fully pubescent but it’s happening, albeit slowly ;)[/quote]
