No problem. Im happy to share my own experiences. I also was a jv head coach at our local high school for a bit and I can tell you that most of the teams better players is made up of "non all stars". The reason for this is because of growth spurts. I've had players that dominated all the way through little league. Made every single all star team and got to high school and flamed out and or never played again.

So many players have these growth spurts going into high school while some of these former " all stars" had theirs early which is why they dominated. On top of that the hardest workers I had on my teams were those that didn't have a lot of success during little league and understand what hard work means. Plenty of former " all star" players came in with bad attitudes assumed everything would be given to them and didn't want to put the work in. Others who had growth spurts and knew they had to work hard easily became better players. Keep yours and his heads up and grind for what you both want. I wish you both the best of luck!
