Look around, you see this alot in the wrestling and football world where physical maturity gives you a big advantage. My oldest son is a freshman in college and is younger than many high school seniors out there competing right now. It amazes me that this isnt talked about more than it is. Did you ever notice in the wrestling world that nobody ever gives the age of their wrestler, only their grade? You see this alot in the middle school world, muscular, physically mature, hairy kids wrestling little boys. The parents are always beaming in the crowd as their 15 year old 8th grader is beating on a 13, 14 or even a 12 year old. Unfortunately thats the nature of our sport, people are willing to do whatever thay can to make sure their kid is THE MAN.
