Word. It requires much more now if you want to compete at the upper levels. Yes the casual may be different. But the elites are a whole different story.

I find this topic interesting. My kid worked 2x as hard as I did. My youth was spent playing baseball, soccer, basketball, etc. In Middle school I ran XC, played basketball, wrestled, baseball, & ran track.  Local wrestling club was 2x a week for freestyle in spring. When not doing that I was playing pickup basketball with friends, organizing a baseball game in the local field with soda cans & paper plates as bases with ghost runners, doing the same for football games etc. I cant remember the last time I saw ANY kids doing any of this. The reason?...we have monetized youth sports & make them practice 24/7, and we call them soft.  These kids we call soft are going to club practices, RTCs, and academies all week every week starting at early ages. How many are single sport athletes at ages younger than 12?  Many. Kids arent softer, just different & burnout is real. 

Facts. I may want to rethink my parenting strategy. But for now I am fine. Not sure about him.

Doing the same here!!  It actually helps during the season, with my son's eating plan, we all drop a few lbs.

I can acknowledge that this may be based in facts.

I make my first grader cut 15-20 pounds for local tournaments and 25-30 for the national ones.  3 nights per week I make him sleep in the snow in just his underwear.  Ain't no soft kids in my house, he wrestles 500+ matches per year and is a 47 time national champ.
