My son would like to attend The Citadel. He plays football, basketball and baseball in high school. He just finished up football and is now going into basketball season. He is worried that basketball practice will not help him get physically fit enough for school or the testing. He came home today wondering if he should leave the basketball team in order to do his own workouts and training since basketball takes up so much time, but the actual workouts aren't what he needs.
He's 6'4, 260 coming out of football, not fat at all - just big. He did put on 15 lbs. for football, but that should come off pretty easily for him. He started rock climbing between seasons to work on upper body strength.
Anyway - just looking for some advice. I would prefer he stay in basketball since he's the team captain, but I understand his worry about getting in better shape. Has anyone been in this situation? Thank you so much!
