Ditto the basketball world. People are crazy! I know a bball family whose kids were above average height but "not tall enough." They talked a LOT about growth hormone shots for their boys but they moved and I'm not sure they ever did it. The boys are all over 6' now, but that was expected as their parents were also tall. Tall and crazy.

I know one parent, not a sports parent either, whose son was always very small. They looked into growth shots and ultimately decided against it because there were too many negatives. Their son is 18yo now and 5'7". But he doesn't have breasts or have to worry about future tumors and that sounds like a good tradeoff to me.
