I think you are taking my comment out of context. I did not intend for someone 2017 to quit the sport because they can't compete against a 2016. All I meant is that if the goal is to play college lacrosse a young man has to understand what it takes to compete against older bigger players. If they are not willing to compete against older kids then they should modify their expectations or wait until they are more physically mature. One of the problems with youth sports is that everyone thinks it is a path to the big time. Thus they take it personally when obstacles come up. Players who are champions and can compete at high levels thrive on the challenge.
