	2004/12/21, 09:14 PM When I used to play sports I put in several insoles into my shoes...to make me appear taller....it worked fine except you lose some of your agility/balance...then I figured I could beat my opponents with better agility, balance, strength, quickness, vertical,and overall athletics...height is not everything... it's about personal confidence...I got a guy at work who's 5'5 but confidence wise he's 7'5... Focus on other aspects at which you are good to find your confidence...note an accomplishment you do each time ...something which took you time/effort/skill/dedication/etc....slowly you can build your confidence...gl

Anyway, work around the height problem...I'm 5'6 and 126lbs and play RB on the varsity football team...so I don't have the strength, but I have balance, coordination, speed and agility over the big guys, plus I'm Spainyard so I have naturally large thighs lol...but find your strengths and use them to your advantage.

bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2005/01/13, 06:54 PM only way you can make bones "grow" is to have them broke reset a lil firther apart....over an dover again. I saw a thing on 60mins about a girl whos dream was to be a flight attendant. But she was 3 in too short for the min. height. They stuck screws in her shins, ever 3 -4 ins.......and every day she would "screw" them in lil by lil, to make the bone fibers push away, and regrow back. Took over a year to acomplish it. She got her 3 ins......but I beat it was painful. I'll be a midgit wreslter before I do that crap! -------------- The following, has not be approved by the FDA or FT, it was not meant to diagnose,treat,or prevent any diease(s) Please consult a moderator or doctor before using any of the suggestions or comments.

	2005/01/14, 12:11 AM I saw same thing andrew....that's painful.....MTV also had something similar following lives of teenagers going through this procedure, one girl was able to get almost a foot i think(could be misremembering)....but I remember it was very significant height gain...she was a 'little person' and became normal size with that procedure
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2005/01/14, 12:18 AM yea now that you say that I think I saw somthing like that too another really cool thing I saw, a girl had somthing wrong with her legs, he chins didn't calicify ro somthing, they where like still cartlage....and she couldn't support her weight. So they had a coice replace her leg from knee down with titanium "bones". Only thing was her shins would always be that same length even though her body still grows. So they still used titanium but used special extra "joints" in it, so when she started to grow, they would pass a very strong magnet over the metal in her legs they would unlock and expand a 1/2in or so, so her legs could "grow" in porportion along with her body.

The first guy tells the second guy that because of the updraft between the skyscraper and the building next to it, if you jump off the building you will be shot back up on a current of air without being harmed. The second guy says 'No way that could happen!' The first guy insists and bets the guy 50 bucks to do it. The second guy takes the bet, but says "You go first." "Okay" says the first guy,So, they go out on the rooftop patio and he jumps off the building, falls out of sight, then reappears flying up to the top of the building again. "Wow", says the second guy, and without further thought, he jumps off the building and falls to his death. The first guy goes back into the bar and orders another drink. The bartender shakes his head and says "You're a mean drunk, Superman." -------------- An old thought for the New Year - \'If you fall down seven times, get up eight\' What matters is that you continue on.

arondaballer Posts: 1,054 Joined: 2003/06/14	2005/01/15, 12:29 PM Muggsy Bogues was like 5'5" or maybe shorter. There was a player for the Atlanta Hawks, Spudd Webb, who was 5'7" and won a dunk contest in the 80's with some crazy hops. There have been plenty of short guys that do just as well as the tall guys, and there's advantages to being both. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

	2005/01/16, 03:43 AM Mugsy Bogus was 5'3.......he could touch the rim... he played for Charlotte with Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson.....there are very few short guys in NBA...below 6'0 esp...handful...no real advantage to being short....your small edge in quickness is not enough to get your shot or on defense...and they last much shorter because once quickness is gone...so are they... Spud webb had amazing hops but he wasn't an amazing dunker per se...and he should never have won the dunk contest....yes he could jump high...did he do the best dunks? NO
