Experienced Posters II: The Sequel. Help Me Guide My STEM Athlete Kid Through The Next Three Years

Yeah, no laughing over American Ninja Warrior here. In fact, we used to watch Sasuke on the now-no-longer G4 channel. So we caught quite a few seasons of ANW, but we’ve missed the last few years. Have to get back on that. Sadly, we do not have any space for a specialized home gym at the moment. Also, my spouse is an engineer but not inclined towards manual labor (I tend to tackle that, but don’t have many tools or a workshop at the moment). Parenting fail.

But I hope that my kid can, in a couple of years, start coaching. It’s such a crazy time. Originally they could have begun assisting new athletes at age 12-ish, but my kid wasn’t quite big enough. Then the past 18 months happened. (I started coach-assisting myself at age 11 - different era! - and enjoyed the sense of responsibility it gave me. I also liked the kids, they were adorable and it was fun to help them out.)

Our school offers 7 slots for classes per semester, generally, but one of those is Phys Ed, required up to and including sophomore year/Grade 10.
