I would not try to overthink what your 9 year old is doing. As he grows he should naturally get more athletic as long as he's participating in sports/being active.


No he definitely needs to be the parent making his kid go to XC practice every day and giving him extra runs before or after to "get his volume up." Then the kid needs to do XC in the fall, indoor in the winter, outdoor in the spring, and AAU all summer. If this kid isn't cranking out 50 mile weeks in 5th grade he'll never make it to the diamond league

I’m not that type of parent and was joking about the state champion comment. Not sure why folks are so cynical. I’m just very impressed by what I saw my kid do with no formal training, and I’m wondering if he might have some real talent or if that’s not anything special for a 9YO.
