So trying to give my son a bit of perspective here - for many years, he was the "speedy little guy" on his team. Then a growth spurt hit and it is safe to say he is no longer one of the tiniest guys on the field. He has also been lifting weights and he is adding muscle. In fact, at 14, it would seem that he is still very much still growing (and I'm very much hoping he doesn't end up with clown feet and that his size is eventually in proportion to those size 13 feet he now has 
) Son is impatient and frustrated, however, as now that he is quite a bit taller and more muscular, he thinks he is slow. To his credit, he is now also adding running to the training mix to try to keep his speed up/increase his speed. I suspect that he is simply growing, developing, and will not always feel this way, but...what has your experience been as your boys grow taller and stronger? Have any of them felt the added inches/muscle slowed them down and if so, were they able to eventually once again feel good about their speed?
