If the kid wasn’t a killer at 8 years old…. He’s not going to be at 16 with TJ surgery lol. GTFO. The guys I knew that went on to actually make money playing a sport were animals at an early age. Athletic and HATED to lose.
The early blooming or favorable birthday beasts all got passed by later developing dudes with good work ethics.
I was one that got passed. I was the same size at 14 that I was at 17.

Yep. Some kids develop hand eye coordination at an earlier age than others. Those kids dominate in the first few years (6-8). Athleticism dominates for the next few years (9-12). Fundamentals really start to take over 12+. Obviously, a kid with freak athleticism has a little more room for error when it comes to fundamentals.
