Some nice charts giving average size of athletes.

More interesting, the average american 20 year old is apparently now George Costanza at 5'9", 195.

Ah, I didn't even make the chart.

Ah, I didn't even make the chart.

5'7" 330lbs?

When I see young kids specializing in sports, I want to tell them that skills are great but if you are big, fast, and strong then you will get a chance.

This chart really highlights how big you need to be.

Good to say our Greek kid didn't make it

Man. I could play DB. Or I should have just stuck to my pro golf aspirations.

Average 20 y/o male is less than 5'10 and almost 200lbs.? Holy cow...

Edit: 00Clone beat me to it.

Odd that hockey is that small cluster where size doesn't really matter what position you play. I am 5'10" 175 and think baseball would be the sport I could probably make it in based on my size.

Small forward. I'm going to have to get much quicker. And younger.

Has the average American male's height gone down? I was sure it was about 5'10" 20-30 years ago.
