I guess now's a good time as any to ask a general question...
As this young fella progresses from being a beginner at 11 years old and commits to resistance training, as he goes through puberty his body will grow like all do.
Does that make squatting for him a little bit more challenging, since his legs for example are developing somewhat rapidly.

Actually, Pete has got it spot on.
When Max quit BB, it was summer, so he took up cricket. His running action altered so much at age 13, that we took him to the doctors. He had lots of pain in his upper legs, and ran like a drugged up giraffe. This continued for quite a while.
The doctor said it was a growth spurt. We had to explain to Max's cricket and Soccer coaches that Max wasnt an alcoholic.
He grew out of it just fine, but his growth DEFINITELY played an impact on his sport. He wasnt lifting then so I cant say how it would affect squatting

I played soccer, cricket, hockey, tennis, baseball, softball and ran cross-country and short distance at athletics.
I don't ever remember having issues with running. Only knee/ankle pain which I got orthortics made from a Podiatrist and that fixed that.
Granted I'm 5'7 I guess I never really grew much LOL

I'm 165cm tall....I never really grew either!
I've yet to train someone who is experiencing the growing pains that Max experienced at 13, so I really dont know Pete.
Max was a very, very small kid, he had a massive growth spurt.
Most kids have linear growth, so it isnt that noticeable. Max was always the smallest kid on every team he was on, every sport.
Great vid Andy

I played soccer U8 - U17. From grade6 to grade 10 I had massive growing pains in my knees on and off. Couldn't walk at times. In grade 9 I started going to the gym (it was owned by Nathan and Paul Briggs' dad). I could do leg curl and extn but not machine leg press, 45 deg leg press, hack squat, squat, lunge. The only one I could do was the leg press where you lie on your back and press straight up.
The trainer's philosophy back then (1987) was that I had to build some muscle before I could do the free weights. By late the next year, the growing pains had finished. I went in a C&J comp at school and made 55kg @ 55kg, having never lifted an oly bar before.
