Absolutely it can. All I'm getting to is the agility part. I know several who are lean/fit looking individuals who can't move for jack. At least not like you think they would be able to do.

It's like those "ceilings" I talked about. Everybody has one. Some are just a lot shorter than others, and for nothing more than bc of their DNA.

:Thumbs:

Like others have said, DNA...yeah. However, where NKY is really lucky, is that there are a ton of speed development programs here outstide of what the high schools offer. I did Tekulve's Accelerated Training in Cincinnati in the late 90's. Now there are at least 5 other programs dedicated to year round athletic improvement.

I do think that you are spot on w/ how important tradition is. Highlands fans are obnoxious to the 10000th power, but it is due to pride. Many had Grandpas, fathers, uncles, cousins, brothers all play and win. Kids grow up wanting to be Bluebirds. That is something that can't be manufactured, it is organic and grows out living the experience.
