Your coaches know nothing unless they are witches.
There is no rule for growth.
You will see when you are adult.
IT IS A COMMON QUESTION.
SO LONG AS METAPHYSES IN LEG AND FEMUR ARE OPEN AS SEEN ON SIMPLE X RAY (TANNER ATLAS-RADIOLOGY), ONE CAN GROW DEPENDING ON GENETIC DETERMINATION. DISEASE LIKE GIANTISM HAS EXCESS GROWTH HORMONE PRODUCTION AND IT HAS CERTAIN OTHER FEATURES. THEY CONTINUE TO GROW ABNORMALLY TALL. ANY WAY SEE A GOOD COMPETENT ENDOCRINOLOGIST TO SORT OUT THIS. IT MAY JUST BE NORMAL OR DIE TO THE OTHER ONE I MENTIONED.
DO YOU HAVE HEADACHE OR RETRO ORBITAL PAIN (PAIN BEHIND EYES) AND ENLARGING HANDS OR THICKENING HEELS AND CHANGING SHOE SIZES LATELY ? DR.J

Anything is possible - but no guarantee's.
Genetics rule - you cannot re-program genetics.
