My boy is the smallest kid out on the pitch every weekend but he's one mean scrappy mother fricker. Change his attitude and not his body type. They usually don't frick with my son because they know he'll cheap shot the frick out of them when the refs not looking. I not only condone this behavior but highly encourage it.

Not sure about protein powder but have been told by older Dr's that when boys begin to grow underarm hair they can begin to start working on strength, weight lifting, etc.

Not hating on the non aggressive thing.
Some of the most passive people I know turned out to be absolute bulldogs on the mound in baseball. It's just I different thought process.
Maybe he would enjoy a more "me vs. myself" approach. Instead of tell him to think of beating the other person to the ball, try to teach him to put his best play on it that he possibly can.
He's a little young for a whole sports psychology eval but it's never too early to teach him that the only thing that will be accepted is his absolute best effort.

This is a calorie restriction problem, not a supplement problem.

I know he was not talking about energy drinks. I was stating drinks are horrible for adolescents. I use to be in the athletic training realm. Enough of my preaching. It is his child, none of my business.

Dude he's 10; don't worry about body composition unless he's a fat slob. Eat decent and add body weight exercises to make stronger. My 11 yr plays a number of sports and all he does is push ups, pull ups, and body weight squats. Nothing hard core but he'll see us working out at home and do these. Has made him stronger.

All of this.

I'm legitimately asking for help. My son told me last night at dinner that he wanted to be thicker...whether he needs to or not that is his perception.
That lower center of gravity those smaller kids have helps them when it's close combat, I think he just wants to be more durable and a little thicker.

Protein powder isn't going to do much if he's not working out, and I've been told kids shouldn't start lifting weights until they're HS aged due to affects on bone growth by starting too young. Tell him to just eat more if he wants to get bigger for now.

I always tell myself I want to be thicker. This is why I bought a pump from new fine arts.

Drink milk and go sprint the levee.
ETA I'll give you some free advice. I'm being serious. Sprinting, not moderate exercise but high intensity short periods of sprinting naturally produce hgh.
Use levees for increased difficulty. Drink lots of milk. Watch kid get stronger.

Maybe not, but it's worth discussing. What's the best brand and quantity of energy drink to maximize your kid's soccer potential? Monster? Red Bull?

sounds like that is the complete opposite of what the kid needs.

Sardines. They're cheap, convenient, loaded with protein (about as much as a chicken breast), have numerous other health benefits, and imo are delicious on a ritz cracker with hot sauce

I was tall and lanky and couldn't seem to put on weight when I was in the 7th or 8th grade. Peanut butter sandwiches with honey was the trick that worked for me.
