TIP OF THE WEEK 3/19/12

Student-athletes grow, mature, and improve at different age levels.
Some kids develop growth and strength early on in their career, and
others must wait to mature and would be considered late bloomers.

 If you are a late bloomer, don't ever give up on yourself as an
athlete.  You still have that chance for improvement because you are
just beginning to catch up with your classmates in regards to size and
strength.

It's hard to predict when and how the student-athlete will peak with
their athletic performance.  But those that get that late growth spurt
are never out of the picture, if they continue to practice and work
hard at their sport.
