I know we've talked about this before. I am glad you're keeping a close eye on your guy for overuse stuff. He's doing very well, and I'm hoping he will stay healthy and keep moving forward all season. Seriously, don't be afraid to push back if you think it's necessary! But I'm looking forward to hearing about what I anticipate will be a great year for him.
My guy is also doing the honors/AP track, and even with our lower hours, it is tough to maintain a healthy balance. He's gradually getting better, however, at managing his time so that he's not burning his candle at both ends to keep up. It's possible to maintain a very rigorous academic program in a public school while doing this crazy sport, but it's no walk in the park!
