Re: t-and-f: What do Tiger Woods,

[wardnich]

First thing that popped into my mind after this thread began is Alan Webb.
He would currently seem to be our prime successful example of one who
started at an early age and trained hard who's now head and shoulders above
most others in the U.S. in terms of his development. However, a key point
is his early start was in swimming where the risk of injury is low compared
to running, only switching to track in his mid-teens if I remember
correctly.
