Understood. My seventeen year old son is 6'2" and ( at least) 290#'s. He played pewee, but had to diet to meet 105# limit for 8 year old travel team. He's not obese and is very strong. But, he just has no interest in playing in high school. He has the gifts, but, no desire. It's tragic. I could make him do it, but, what's the point?Some people have talent in an area that they hate & never develops that talent
There is a young guy in the Army with me who is 6 ft 7 ins. He hates sports but he is definitely not a wimpy type of guy
I can't help but to wish I had that height so I could be a tight end of a forward in NBA
Maybe Richmond doesn't like football and has gone this far in order to please family & friends. Might be that his heart is not in it

What facts do you have to back this up? Regarding his work ethic.
Whys it tragic?
With hard work. Almost anything can be accomplished regardless of natural ability or not.Tragic because others in the world have the desire to achieve something but have no talent. Some, SUPPOSEDLY, waste their talent, while others dream of having that talent.
Some have a singers voice, others don't. Some are natural at long distance running while others aren't. Some are naturally good at math while others struggle in math

Find out what makes him happy and try to take an interest. If you already haven't, i mean to say.
Oh, it sound to me as if it were tragic cause he cant live vicariously through his son. If folks have a talent to do something but dont because they dobt have the want or desire, it shouldnt be considered a bad thing, so long as they do what they want, not what others thing they should.Tragic because others in the world have the desire to achieve something but have no talent.
