Different Traits

Different sports do take some different traits, but speed, power, explosion, agility are pretty fundamental to about everything you can play in high school guy. By the way, that is why you play the other sports all the way through, so that you can develop those traits. If your going to have this conversation, I can name off the resumes of a lot of guys who were and are successful on the prolevel that were three and four sport studs in high school. They apparently didn't have any problems switching back and forth between sports. I also played varsity baseball and American Legion all the way through and faced maybe one guy who had a 90mph fastball and he was a quarterback on his school's football team. The one guy who I faced in basketball that could jump out of the gym plays linebacker for the St. Louis Rams, the best football player I faced besides Leonard Little was a guy named Dremiel Byers from Kings Mountain, he was the state champion in wrestling and all conference in shot and discus, and still wrestles for the United States in international competition. None of those guys had any problems playing different sports. By the way, I watched Leon Johnson run for one hundred yards against McDowell one year, drop 25 points a game in B'ball and hit three homeruns in a game. Leon sure as Hell could hit a baseball, but I guess those guys don't count huh? HaHa Hell!!!!!!

All though, I do agree with you about a person's physical toughness, sometimes though you can overcome that if you just play.

 

i agree with you... i was just saying that strictly because they are good at one thing does not mean they will be good at another.... are alot of them good at all of the sports... yes they are... but does that mean necesarily they automatically will be no... btw we faced bumgarner and runion this year so those were our 90 mph fastballs.

 

Simply every case is different. Each athelete plays different sports, different positions, has his individual stregths and weaknesses
