[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid played 3 sports all through high school earned 12 varsity letters.  At one point did year round swimming, club volleyball and club soccer. dropped year round swimming freshmen year, volleyball by 8th grade and played club soccer throughout but in high school played soccer, swam and ran track and coed  vb one year.  The only people who say you have to pick a sport is a selfish coach that wants them on their tam and only on their team.

Multisport athletes are healthier both physically and mentally.

One thing your kid had going for them is that one of their sports was swimming, which is an individual sport (so easier to resolve conflicts) and uses completely different muscles with no impact.  My kid tried to do three sports that all require a lot of running, jumping and lateral movement, so even though they got the mental breaks of sticking with one sport, they still got the same overuse knee injury they would have gotten if they just played one of the three sports full time.
