    That’s exactly why this happens. At young ages, even an extra six months can give you a huge leg up in sports. So coaches see a first grader performing really well – because they have that six month advantage – and hype them up, which ends up snow balling.

    I love when someone is belligerently wrong and down votes people that are correct. Go back to Reddit. I need to log off

      Are you complaining about me?

      Your comment already has a down vote, and you’re agreeing what I first said… And I don’t see anything belligerent in my comment.

      But I dont know who else you’d be complaining about, I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Quick edit:

      Did you reply to the wrong person? You’re not even the person I replied to
