Roughly 32% of the recruits we have talked to are the baby of the family. It would be interesting to know how many elite runners are the youngest in their families. When you are the youngest, you often get a lot of attention and have many tasks done for you, so do you think the youngest child has what it takes to be a top-notch runner? Of course they do!
Risk takers, idealists, good sense of humor, hardworking, immature, attention seeking, secretive, sensitive. . . these are all qualities that can describe the youngest child. These "know no boundaries," which is great in running. Jay Leno and Bill Gates are the youngest in their families, so we know that if you are the youngest, you can definitely be a success:)
