[quote=Anonymous]Alex Morgan specialized late and became a soccer star. However, it would be wrong to conclude from this fact alone that if you want your daughter to become a soccer star, her best chance is to specialize late. It is unclear whether Alex Morgan became a soccer star because she specialized late, or in spite of it. In other words, was her chance of becoming a star higher if she specialized early or late? I'd be curious to see if there is a study that looks at early vs late specialization in soccer alone, for both risk of injuries, but also for chance of playing in college or going pro. My uninformed guess is that most male professional soccer players specialized early. Again, my uninformed guess is that current women professional soccer players are more likely to have specialized late than men. But maybe girls are now increasingly behaving more like boys and are specializing earlier. [/quote]
