No, they are in an age range and experience level where they have constant improvement, low skill low barrier of entry sport = instant gratification when young.
When someone instructs other people on how to do a thing, doesn't it make sense for the instructor to try to be, better than average/practiced, at the thing they are instructing? You get that, right?
I said playing those sports would be a waste of time for me right? I'm 42, if it's not something like golf or fighting I'll stick to fitness (just my opinion). I routinely tell HS and College age athletes NOT to prioritize powerlifting over team based sports. I'm not scrolling back but maybe I didn't clarify.
You've made bold claims here about baseball and your lifting, you said you wanted to kick my ass (fucking laughable), and said multiple negative things about my lifting and how it would impact my coaching. You will not get a pass from me, sorry. Hopefully you crush it in baseball and find enjoyment in the level that you're at. I would like to see you back up your many lifting statements and do a meet. Unfortunately everything I've seen in the past 5 or so years leads me to believe that I won't get my wish.
