This is one way to make kids hate sports and why coaches like the one below should not be involved in youth sports.

Former NFL running back played nine seasons in the league across a number of different teams and even he has never had to do some conditioning the way he 9-year-old has to do at such a young age.

Forsett, who was a seventh-round pick in 2008, took to Twitter over the weekend and posted his 9-year-old son’s soccer workout and it is entirely insane.

I just Failed my 9yr old son’s soccer conditioning test. Am I tripping/out of shape or is this insane? I need a soccer or track athlete to talk to me. pic.twitter.com/iB58XCR7AN

The 9-year-old has to run a total of 3,600 meters (2.25) miles while only getting a total of 14 minutes of rest.

Social media hated everything about it.

Conditioning test for a 9 year old? Soccer team? Find a different team and stay away from “coaches” like this. This would be hard for an adult Ironman athlete. https://t.co/7OmDdEx8Tt

Bonkers for a 9-yr-old.

It’s amazing to see kids sports have gone full extreme. We just showed up, played and ate orange slices at half time.

Whoa. This is insane.

I’m surprised this “coach” didn’t have the kids do it all over broken glass. You know, to work on their mental toughness. https://t.co/XUaJupx5IN

“Why are kids dropping out of youth sports?” ??‍♂️

This is insanity. The kids are nine. NINE. https://t.co/zrF5vUqGtc

People seem to be struggling. The body is still growing at this age, thus conditioning/strength is useless since you’ll “replace” it all by the time you’re an adult. Teach technique, focus on IQ, make sure they have fun. And by no means put your child through this BS. https://t.co/2Rl3XfD4cE

Why are 9 year olds even doing this ? It’s all about the ball ⚽️ at that age . Developing the technical skills . https://t.co/xxlc8cneYJ

This is fucking terrible. In Europe smart coaches don’t let athletes lift weights until their body fully develops…which doesn’t happen until early 20’s. Doing this at 9 is insane. You teach them to play and enjoy the game at that age. Teach technique. Americans are dumb. https://t.co/2Rl3XfD4cE
