Hi,
> I am 14 years old and I am very small. Even though I'm small, I hit nice line drives and hard hits, but I have hardley any power. I do have a membership to a gym, and am going to start working out more. I also have grown a couple of inches over the past 2 or 3 months. I am still only about 5'1 or 5'2 though. My question is: Will I still continue to grow and maybe grow a little more rapidly or will I stop? I haven't really hit my big growth spurt yet and I'm thinking this might be it. I hope I am bigger and stronger by the beginning of high school season so I can hit for more power. Anyone's "anaylisis" will be appreciated.

kevin...i don't know if i can be much help....i don't know much about growth spurts (how predictable they might be)......and by the way, i didn't mean to suggest that small players can not have power....i only meant that it sometimes could be a contributing factor....my best advice would be what i sugested to sam: send jack a video of your swing and have him analyze it.......sorry i can't be of much help.....grc....
