does working out make you stop growing?

Question

i am 14 years of age and i play basketball, im 6', my coach is telling us to start working out but im not sure if i should because i heard working out doesnt make you grow taller and i need to get taller because height is everything in basketball

Answer 1

Nope, lifting weights doesn't stunt your growth. There is no scientific evidence. Lift weights to make yourself stronger and push those defenders around in the low-post.

Answer 2

No, working out only makes, us better decision makers, and we feel so much better, we sleep better, and there is nothing negative about working out, it is all so good. I wish more of us, would work out.
