Well said - totally agree! I want my son to work harder to become bigger, faster, stronger and better! Not send a message to him that it is okay to step back and compete against predominantly younger kids. A life lesson!
It is almost impossible to become noticeably bigger of faster through hard work. Those are largely due to genetics. Maybe you can add a few lbs of useful muscle with training, and shave a tenth or do off your forty time. So, when it comes to size and speed, both of which are very important elements of the sport, you either got them from your parents or didn't. Now that doesn't seem very "fair" does it?
