[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6. DO pay attention to overuse issues. Playing the same sport 300 days a year can overstress joints, tendons etc., not to mention burnout. Consider having your child try a "new" sport or play multiple sports for the school -- your future Mia Hamm might turn out to be a whiz at cross - country or crew or lacrosse or field hockey or track and field. Same goes for your future Hopkins laxer-- maybe he would enjoy football or wrestling too

I actually don't agree with this one. [b]My husband who played professional baseball had to focus on baseball by hs as some of the other sports could potentially cause problems with his shoulder muscle memory--he was a pitcher. [/b]Now most kids are not going to be in the big leagues but..if you have a child who is really showing promise in a certain sport...I would say that sometimes you do have to focus on that sport by hs..not talking five year olds but older kids.[/quote]

cool. btw, (big-league) pitchers are known to play golf on off days. did he?[/quote]
