[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 598115, member: 43875"] at 14 you probably only too old to start training to be an Olympic gymnast :) as far as everything else goes the world is your oyster, its a solid age to start playing rugby. You can even set a goal to make your school top team in 2 years time? be active, eat well, work on your speed and skills with the ball. Make sure you stretch well and warm down after trainings and exercise. Play touch rugby at lunchtime and after school, Im not sure what school breaks are like in the UK but when I was at school we played league or touch at lunchtime pretty much every day unless its wet and then we would play hackysack. Its what Kiwi kids do and a one of the reasons I think we do so well at rugby and other sports. be prepared to maybe change positions in future if something suits you better. when I was 13 I was a prop and a bit chubby, by the time I was 15 I was a winger, slim and taller and the fastest guy in my team over 40meters then i naturally bulked up a bit end ended up playing center or flanker. keep up with your school work, a good player is a smart player and your brain needs exercise as well.
