Play at the highest level. Great athletes aren’t pushed when you move down a level. It’s too easy to get by on athleticism alone against lesser comp. The skills/IQ will not develop as they aren’t as necessary. Stay at the top level, get pushed by better players in practice and he’ll develop quickly.
