From an Athletic article:
Quote:
"Ten years old, in fifth grade now, and here’s a dilemma: how much does he love the game? Because little Quenton is getting too big for youth football. He’s already up to 138 pounds – “I was a fat kid, a little chugulugga,” he says now – and the weight limit for his age group in the Holmdel Jr. Pee Wee League in central New Jersey is a hard 115."
...
"How does a 10-year-old drop 23 pounds? He becomes a distance runner. Quenton finds the nearest high school cross-country course, 3.1 miles of unforgiving hills, and he spends his summer evenings, fifth grade through eighth, lumbering across them. A slow jog with mom becomes a steadier pace with his older brother and sisters. The fat fades. His weight drops. His endurance builds. He never misses a game."
