the biggest mistake at 14 would be to over-train - limbs and strength are still developing.
I've seen many potentially excellent athletes and footballers ruined at 20 by over-training and not giving young limbs/muscles time to develop...
My view is this and I assume he is being trained to run 300 metres???....
For stamina - maybe do some 400m work once a week....3 x 400 metre runs at decent pace - twice a week
For speed - maybe do some 50m work - do 6 intervals 5 mins apart - 3 times per week.
For strength and stamina and to help muscles/frame develop SWIM - sensibly 2 -3 times per week.....i.e get in a pool for an hour 3 times per week and build thigh and stomach muscles in an environment that will place FAR less burden on developing frame
Obviosuly DIET is also very important!
