Puberty and size do not make much of a difference. You can believe whatever you want to make yourself feel better but this is reality. The good ones just don't stop working. Size can help but it cant make up for athleticism and work. The good ones got there that way and it just doesn't go away!!!


So by your logic all the good 8th graders should be on Varsity? Relax Turtle dad, everything will be fine........
