[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think most doctors have any kind of background that would help them in determining whether single-sport specialization vs multi-sport participation is more likely to enhance soccer talent.

Are you kidding? Orthopedists specializing in youth sports injuries is a whole cottage industry. Particularly in this area --- they'll be able to tell quite a bit. And based on my experience and interaction with them, the number one problem is repetitive stress and over training injuries from doing the same over and over.[/quote]

I'm the PP you are quoting. You seem to have left out the part of my post where I specifically noted that orthopedists are in a position to weigh in on which training regimens are likely to reduce or increase potential for injury. But avoiding injury is just one part of the equation.  Orthopedists don't typically have any expertise in figuring out which types of youth training are most likely to help develop successful pro players.  [/quote]
