Yeah. Shutters If you're into that kind of thing more power to you. I know that's not a subculture I'll ever get into. Seems kind of sad. But I don't know, everybody needs money. My great uncle fought in world war II and in the Korean war, he stayed in the army until the Vietnam era. When he finally came home back to his mama's house My dad said he remembers him as not willing to say one word about the about the army or a few combat medals the family heard that he had been awarded. To this day theyve never been found and we think he just left them at the base are at a train station or through them in the trash. One of them was a bronze star he got in Korea. Some people don't give a damn for some reason. It's just too his own life is tuff sometimes.

Well thanks for making it obvious. Wish I could say it made me feel better about the world, but unfortunately no

If you look many top highschool sprinters are also football players. I know when my high school won the 4x1 at state they were mostly d1 football players They continue to sometimes run in college as you will see schools like LSU or A&M often have football players on their track team for sprints.

Our country is already the best in the world overall at track and field for both genders, even with losing athletes to basketball, football, and baseball.

Age matters and sprinters usually peak in late 20s, but most active sprinters are going to be faster all through their 20s than late teens.
He’s not a “sprinter” anymore, but he’s still a professional athlete that sprints in his sport.

Tyreek Hill would've gotten fourth in HS Indoor Nationals if he ran a 6.7. He would've lost to high school sprinters.
If he ran at the NCAA championships this weekend, he'd have been the slowest athlete to compete in the prelims.
Tyreek Hill is an extremely fast WR, but he's nowhere near the top sprinter. There are 17 year olds who sprint faster than him. Had he gone down the T&F route he'd almost certainly be one of the fastest sprinters, but as it stands now, no, Tyreek Hill is nowhere near the top.

He's exceptionally fast for a football player.
That's an important and meaningful distinction here, because certain characteristics that are necessary to play football will also necessarily make you a slower sprinter. He's not a world-class track sprinter because track sprinting isn't his primary focus.

Running 6.7s in high school would put you at top in the country especially as a freshman. You may be thinking about the 55m instead of the 60m. In NYS they run 55m instead of 60. Not sure about other states.

I mean ok. But Ronaldo is 6’2, zlatan is 6’5, and the average height of all World Cup players is like 6’ even. Tons of amazing athletes in the NFL who are 6’ plus or minus 2 or 3 inches, and if they weren’t playing football they wouldn’t have bulked up as much as they have. Also think about the players who tried to make the nfl when they would have been better off starting with soccer but didn’t know that.
Nobody giving a shit about soccer in America is a huge reason we’re not that good, similar to hockey. That’s why minnesota is the best state for hockey even though it doesn’t have as many people as plenty of other states

Are you close to Nogales, Mexico? If you're anywhere near, or can make the trip, they have WONDERFUL dental and way cheaper than the states. If so, I can make some recommendations and make it easier. My partner just got all of the work done that she's been waiting for because of money.... spent $850 total for 3 separate visits for EVERYTHING. They give you upfront quotes, work with a company to help you travel safely.... you name it.

He didn’t even hit full speed his start was actually “bad”. He can go much faster.
