Wow. Some real nasty people in here.

Being 6'0 and 200 as a female isn't incredibly fat. Some people are in big. Illona Maher is 200 lbs and I don't think anyone would consider her obese.

My biggest fear is he will be lazy and it will catch up to him.


It will in high school unless he’s also a giant.

PP here. Son is the biggest kid on his team and projected to be 6'4 and 240. He's been in the 95 percentile (or higher) for height and weight since birth.


Sorry, how exactly are you projecting his weight?? Height I get, but weight? Didn’t you say he’s only 10?

Just a guess. Dad is 230 and I'm 200. All the men in my family are 240 plus.

200? Are you a woman? I’m 6’ tall and nowhere near that. Sounds like weight problems run in your family more than athleticism.

Wow. That's incredibly rude.

I'm not overweight. I could probably lose 20 lbs but I workout regularly and run three miles every other day.


Plenty of overweight people work out a lot. I know multiple overweight triathletes. If you can lose 20 lbs without being underweight… you are overweight. Sorry.

Unless you meant to type 150 or 7’5” there is no universe in which your coworker is “all skin and bone”. If he’s 250 at 6’5” he is fat, bordering on obese…

Have you ever seen a nfl player? Gronk is around that size after his playing days and is not fat.


And would you describe Gronk as “all skin and bone”? Of course you wouldn’t, because he’s not. He’s a giant muscular guy.

Nevertheless, PP’s coworker is undoubtedly NOT a former NFL player, get real please.

All the mom haters coming out. Body positivity is a thing until they pass those genes on to the kid taking little Larlo's starting position on the high school team.

Soccer players brag about how they started practicing every day starting at like 2, not that they never practice.

Considering Messi was sent to train at Barcelona at 5.

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

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.

It's like kids who are born smart but for sports.


+1

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.


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


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


Just basing it on my own experience as a D1 athlete (soccer).

How can you not be overweight as a woman…are you 6’5”?

I think she has got to be a troll. There’s no way anyone is lacking self awareness to this extent.
