Y’all need to give JTown a break. How many of y’all have ever played on traveling sports teams? You have basically no control over when you’re eating, where you’re eating, gym access, down time, etc… Your day is dictated by your coaches. A program like this, while really badass on a variety of levels, isn’t feasible and possibly even counterproductive to what the kid needs. I’m sure from an aesthetic standpoint it’s topnotch, but tempo leg extensions and high rep machine work have no place on a budding athletes training program. Yeah, if he knew he was going to be playing on a traveling team he should’ve never tried for this, but it is what it is. This kid is hard enough on himself. Last thing he needs is a bunch of people kicking him while he’s already down.[/quote]
As I said before my problem is not the choice itself as much as it is the “yeah i wanna be in” when he knew there was a chance he couldnt do it…
Saying something like “before we start I must say im waiting for an answer to see if im gonna be on that lacrosse team, if I am I wont be able to fully commit, I should know very soon so can we see what we do once i get the answer” wouldve been… better.
But hey I guess at 15yrs old you dont think about these kinda things though, no big deal… i guess[/quote]
Actually was going to comment on the fairly harsh treatment that a 15 year old has gotten, but Zraw has given his verdict, so I think we should all stop being insulted on his behalf.
