Both are actually double holdbacks. Also, if you take a poll of all the reclasses over the years, these kids represent a minority of “success stories”.

Sure, they've found a way to game the system for now, but holding kids back for an advantage isn't real success. It’s short-term thinking, and eventually, the competition will catch up to them—whether in sports or life. Being older and bigger might give them an edge now, but relying on that instead of true development only lasts so long. Real growth comes from competing on a level playing field, not looking for shortcuts.
