if your son is short, what sports would you steer him towards?

[2 Up 2 Down]

Wrestling for in-school sports and Boxing/MMA/Brazilian Jujutsu outside. It'll be a huge confidence builder

 

[Primetime21]

Steer him towards what he actually has an interest in. Most kids are not going pro at anything so no sense in putting limitations on him.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Pee wee sports

 

[JesusFOREVER]

Literally any sport that isn’t basketball

 

[richbosszar]

combat sports, boxing wrestling, karate, kick boxing, muy thai

 

[ThatTruth777]

1st thing I thought was wrestling

 

[IIVI]

Soccer, wrestling/judo/BJJ, gymnastics, hockey, fencing

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

Soccer
Lacrosse
Boxing/MMA
Track & Field
Tennis
Cart racing

 

[Shadow King]

Golf
Soccer
lacrosse
Swimming
Track & field
Wrestling

Nah. Swimming favors height.

 

[TaxCollector13459]

problem with soccer is you gotta get him in it early imo
cause the development curve so steep. Most of the high level competition on the travel teams too

but shii like everyone said high check for a reason

 

[thefloorislava]

Baseball
Wrestling
Cross country
Weightlifting
Soccer

You take take any kid that’s not a complete spaz and get them to be decent to a highschool level for at least one sport

 

[Armchair Militant]

Soccer or baseball

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

How old is he? Is he leaning towards any certain sport?

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Nah. Swimming favors height.

Then get him into cycling

 

[Cakebatter]

The chances of becoming a professional athlete are slim regardless of height. Introduce the kid to many sports early, then go hard on the sport that he clicks with. If he's good, he's good, and the pro career will happen no matter what.
