[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old is nationally ranked in an individual sport but also likes to play a second sport for fun at their school. The school does not mandate this. Would you let them play the secondary sport and risk an injury which can affect their main sport? I understand the benefits of cross training but does the opportunity cost make any sense here?[/quote] No one can offer reasonable advice without knowledge of the two sports and of the parents' and childs' goal for the nationally ranked sport. If the goal is to compete internationally and the 13 year old is likely to remain ranked nationally, then it might be foolish to participate in such an injury laden sport as soccer.[/quote]
