Message: [QUOTE="jleves, post: 5344834, member: 757"] If you are going to make any major league, you have to be elite in a given sport by the time you are in high school. For 99.99%, you can't change at that point and be elite at something else. If you grew up skating and playing hockey, you're not changing to bball in high school cause it's safer - and if you did, you're not going to be elite. Bottom line - anyone who makes it to the bigs in any sport is an elite athlete in some aspect of the sport. If that's running and jumping, running fast, skating fast, taking a hit, swinging a bat, throwing a pitch or taking a slap shot, they are great at something most humans can't do. [/QUOTE]
