Up until a month ago, he simply lifted weights to improve his soccer performance.
His club has dropped from Premier league, down to State league and is now in State league 2.
The club is broke and its future is grim. He has lost passion for the sport and doesnt want to go club hopping, he's a very loyal kid.
there is no future in lifting unfortunately. He is going to be a very fine trainer one day and a very succesful because he is such a nice kid (opposite to me).
I think he's simply going to lift because he enjoys it. I would love him to play football. He would be a revelation at the Draft camp, simply because no one his age lifts as much as he does or combines it with his speed AND endurance.
He's not interested.
At the moment he's playing basketball and loving it. I have a high level coach training at PTC who thinks Max could play at a decent level if he wanted to, I reckon he's too short.
So like most 17yo, he doesnt know, he'll finish VCE next year, then we'll see.
