[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a thought as to whether it is more difficult to become good at baseball or lacrosse, or does it totally vary from player to player? They're both spring sports so would ultimately conflict with one another, I imagine. [/quote]

It's not unusual for a player to have to choose at some point when seasons conflict, and, as you imply, there's no clear answer.

Years ago I worked with a world-class soccer player who announced after ninth grade that he wanted to quit. Not that they could force him, but his parents decided to let him do what he felt like doing. After a year away, he returned to the sport and eventually received a soccer scholarship — at a Division III school. Could he have played D-1? Maybe, maybe not. But ultimately his parents felt like allowing him the choice would be the bigger "win."

So back to the (I assume) real son: Which sport does he like better? That's really the only question. There's no formula, and I'd be very wary of trying to "calculate" this kind of ineffable equation.
