Score touchdowns! But not too many, because feelings could get hurt...

This kid is costing himself a scholarship.

 

Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

 

'sup, dude? We should be friends.

 

I have been, and ever shall be, your friend.

 

Every time I get the ball, I can score a touchdown. I mean, every time!!

 

Nice!

 

Kid's last name is Jimerson...

The league is costing Lil Jimerson a scholarship! [/c-o-n-spiracy]

 

Oh my.

 

You scoff, but have you ever seen Vince Lombardi's youth league won-loss record?

 

We see this in soccer all the time for kids this age. At 11 and 12, the bigger and faster boys are athletically ahead of their peers. It tends to level out in the teen years. That doesn't mean some kids aren't faster or bigger when they're older. But if they always relied on being bigger and faster -- and never learned any skills -- the rest of the field catches up and in many cases surpasses them.

So, Coach, do the kid a favor -- teach him how to catch the ball, not just run with it. Even better, teach him how to play defense, too.
