Ok well there’s alot of unnecessary hate here on this thread as I don’t think they understand your thinking patterns. Anyways just do what you gotta do, don’t focus on “competing in a league,” but just do what you can do as hard as possible. You never know what It’ll lead to. One important key factor the people commenting here are ignoring is that people tend to “peak.” There’s a point in time where it will begin to drop off. Give it enough and you could become extremely competitive for your age group if you focus on your health first. Don’t worry about where you will end up, don’t worry about these negative nancies. Just do what’s best for you. Focus on your health and smashing your own goals.

People are gonna be mad because they have been trying REALLY HARD for their entire lives to get to a certain points, so that’s why they are reacting like this. It seems like an athlete would want to think about competing when they reach a certain point that they find matching the records of others. And let me tell you…the ceiling is so fucking high especially for naturally focused athletes. It’s very competitive. I’d focus on doing a sport you like and just seeing where you to with It, not so much the end result. But I do understand wanting to get to the end as soon as possible since my doctor diagnosed me with “restless tendencies” at a young age. Peace :)
