Ok, let me ask this question. How many players in the area that are hold backs are playing at a higher level in college than if they stayed in there own grade and practiced harder? Sure some will say they got into Pikeville, Alice Lloyd or such that they wouldnt have if they wasnt held back. How do they know that for sure? Is that just a way to justify getting held back? If anyone in this area should have been held back for sports, or to go to a D-1 school. My boy would have been the number one choice. But he wasnt held back. Instead, he practices three times a day, sometimes spending as much as 6 hours a day in the gym to make himself better. That isnt counting the hours he spends in gyms such as the YMCA's or anything just to shoot and handle the ball. Why not try to get your kids to excell by working hard.
