As a few of you will know my 2 eldest boys play a lot of football/soccer and are quite good if i may say so myself. However there is one thing i have noticed over the years, especially where Mike(the eldest) is concerned and i suppose it goes for any sport. As he gets older it gets a lot tougher, especially physically. Just in the last year there is not a game goes by where he does not limp off with aches and pains and stud marks all down his legs. Some weeks he plays 3 games and trains twice....getting a little worried that he could burn out a little, even though he is only 14.....

Anyone else with similar experience, albeit in other sports? I know Klyd's boys play a lot of baseball!!
