[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specialization should not happen until college. There is more and more data showing that the current trend of earlier and more intense specialization leads to two major outcomes: 1) injuries, and 2)burnout. Most kids have completely dropped their sport by the end of middle school. If coaches are pressuring your kid to specialize at this age IMO it’s a major red flag that the coach either doesn’t understand child and athletic development, or even more worrying, simply doesn’t care because coach wants to win NOW. And if you’re just suffering from FOMO because you see other parents insisting their kids specialize, understand that those parents almost certainly have no clue.[/quote] And as I see it, a way for them to increase their revenue. Which I think is the problem with all this specialization and programs trying to lock in families for the entire year. Where everything is big business now.[/quote]
