So leave in June at fitness level 8 out of 10

Return in August at fitness level 4?

Even with all the extra conditioning and he’s still statistically very unlikely to play college or pro so maybe take it down a notch.

That's the reality however there are kids who focus on that small percentage that make it, rather than half assing it because majority don't.

Imagine if every Olympic athlete, college athlete, professional athlete listened to someone telling them at 10 years old to not give 100% later in life because you have slim to no chance of making it

Yikes you want your kid to be a pro so bad you can taste it. When they are 18 you will have regrets as will they. Ease up on them, there will be a benefit in their long term performance and love of the game.

You think promoting lack of ambition and lack of discipline to put in required work to succeed gets you kudos?
