Dear parents: if you are telling your kid they have to quit lifting when their sports season starts, please stop. Educate yourself: reach out to people in the field, call their strength coach, read studies. Your 13-18 year old kid NEEDS the weight room all year long!
Not allowing your child to lift weights because you think it’s going to stunt their growth is like saying you don’t want them to play basketball because they’ll get too tall.
All I know is that if all we had were the punk ass kids on tv these days bailing out of the boats on Omaha beach, things might have turned out different. Hopefully they realize those people died so they could freely protest. Most probably don’t even know.
Everyone please help spread the word so if we can’t fix it for me then let’s try to make it right for other athletes in the future. It’s messed up to punish me for something I had no control of. @NAIA please give me my chance I worked hard for! #LetHerCompete
