[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most coaches would be okay with your child missing practice to do practice for another sport of equal or greater physical intensity. I think the attitude would be different if you were missing XC practice due to conflict with an arts or academic activity.  [/quote]

I don't think it actually works that way.  Let me explain.  Individual sports often have a few very important meets throughout the year.  They have a training regimen that leads to the best times at those events.  Maybe early in the season, but when you get near the meets.  They do things like taper and what not, suppose your kid goes to a preseason basketball tryout.  It totally messes up the taper...

I don't agree with the way these personal best sports work, where they continually train, but it isn't continual training, they have cycles, tapers and what not so year round training isn't as bad as it seems it isn't 100 percent year round, but they also don't leave any room for other types of physical activity.  They take resting seriously.  I think it's good to get some of this style of training for basketball, but basketball training probably doesn't help cross country.[/quote]
