Early vs Late Development & Turf vs Grass

This is a very misunderstood part of athlete development, in terms of athlete development and future performance:

Is it better to be an Early Developer OR is it better to be a Late Developer?

The athlete development data tells a very interesting story. One group has an advantage and the numbers are massive. We’ll discuss who makes it to the top levels of sport much more often and I speculate why these athletes wind up with a powerful advantage.

I also wanted to touch on another important topic that has been brought to the forefront of the sporting world by unfortunate circumstance – Aaron Rogers achilles injury.

There is a lot of talk right now surrounding the turf vs natural grass debate. A debate that has been going on – well since the invention of artificial turf. The NFL Players Association has been pushing for all grass fields for some time – their main platform – there are fewer injuries on grass.

Which surface is safer for athletes? Turf or grass?
And who has the advantage early or late developers?
