My son is an upcoming senior at Richlands. He eats, breaths, sleeps, football. But he does take one week off to go to the beach with his family every summer. Weight lifting is from 0830-1100 Mon through Thurs. that is not an unreasonable amount to excpect, I don't think, and I think he has plenty of time to be with friends, girlfriend, ect. and just be a kid and still excell at a sport he loves.
