[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look at your high school football, basketball and baseball games. The OVERWHELMING majority of these kids play varsity in multiple sports. [/quote] This must be a small and remote private school. The unfortunate reality in most communities is that single-sport specialization occurs by middle school. Which is awful. Even professional NBA and MLB coaches are lamenting the early specialization of today's athletes. People who play multiple sports tend to be better overall athletes and more resilient to repetitive-use injuries. I think the best approach is to simply pretend it's still 1984 and change sports with the seasons and ignore the pressure to specialize early. [/quote] It’s like this at our large public- Yorktown High school in Arlington. Although the girls tend to specialize, many of baseball players either play basketball or football as well. [/quote]
