[quote=Anonymous]That youth soccer coaches realize that encouraging multi-sport athletes - particularly at all ages before high school - results in better athletes and kids overall. And - here's a news flash - it makes them better soccer players in the end. The pressure/guilt trips that coaches in this area put on young kids to "do" soccer all year round - ridiculous "training sessions" 3 days a week, indoor training etc. - with the obvious threat of losing playing time or getting in coach's doghouse. Makes it extremely difficult for kids to play other sports during the offseason. They end up burned out on soccer by middle school without much background in anything else.[/quote]
