You don't want to throw a kid into gates who's still skiing in a big, wide wedge. You want them to be able to ski well before you introduce them to gates.

The Tommy Moe League is just for fun.

Pushing kids too early is a problem I've seen through the years. If you start them too early, by the time they're in high school they're burned out on it.

We're hoping to expand the league and get more kids involved, and introduce them to racing.

I don't care if the kid comes in last every time, as long they're improving and learning and having fun, that's the important thing.

Peyton would tell you that, too. Eli is a big, good-looking kid who can throw the ball well. The thing that separates Peyton is his work ethic and how he prepares himself. Eli went to Ole Miss and did pretty darn well without the best cast around him. I think he'll do just fine. He's just a very good athlete who can throw the ball extremely well.
