Question
Hi
In most sports, with the exceptions possibly being football and baseball, do the lightest atheletes tend to be faster?
I have noticed as a soccer/hockey mom that the fastest, but not necessarilly the most skilled, kids tend to be smaller and lighter.
I have a big family of jocks, and my husband thinks that the boys need to put on more muscle to get faster and stronger. I dont know if that is a good idea. I think they should stay away from weights to stay light and just work on speed drills.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Answer
Good Day, Barb.

I'm sorry to tell you, ouroffice was hit hard by Sandy and I'm only just now recovering my computer operations.  I have to ask you to wait for a few days for the answer to this question.  I hope you understand.

Sincerely,
James W.Healey, DC
