[quote=Anonymous]My 13-year-old still plays 4 sports at varying commitment levels, but one sport gets priority. He's starting to get passed up in his main sport. Most governing bodies for different sports encourage late specialization, but the kids who focus on one sport are better in that sport. At some point, sports get so technical and competitive; aren't helping sports less relevant? All the kids on high-level teams are good athletes. I don't think the general focus on athleticism is as important now. He inevitably misses practices in his main sport to make a game in a secondary sport because he doesn't want to let down his teammates and coaches, but that comes at a cost. He chooses to play everything - he loves the competition and friendships; however, he's also torn by all the conflicts, and he knows he's falling behind in the sport he loves the most. [/quote]
