“You couldn’t meet a nicer, smarter kid, who is totally dedicated to his
sport. 4.0 student, no drugs, watches his diet for proper training nutri-
tion, and trains like a fiend. You should also know that all the Youth kids
that I know are like this. Totally dedicated to the sport. And they are
all super sportsmen. They support each other to a flaw, including the kids
on other teams. It is really cool to go to a big comp and see the kids and
their family members supporting the kid that is climbing at the current
time. No soccer parents in competitive climbing”.
