[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son played at the highest level in soccer and another sport.

He also played for his high school.

Being a multi sport athlete never was a problem because neither coach was willing to give him up so they dealt with it.

We made him choose a sport sophomore year of high school mostly because it was too much on me.

So he played both his sports in high school and one of them nationally sophomore year until college. Middle school up through sophomore year he can he played both of his sports.[/quote]

Highest level of soccer as in being on a USYNT or a MLS club academy like Philadelphia Union etc?[/quote]The answer doesnt really matter for this humble bragger. Of course if your kid is playing at the perceived highest level the high school team will make an exception. However, for the 99.9999% of the rest of us, let's focus there and minimize the DCUM pissing contest.[/quote]

I competed "at the highest level" as a youth, and my coaches would have never let me do another (high-level sport). Coaches wanted complete control over my workout regime, nutrition, practice schedule etc. Another sport could have put me at risk for injury. I doubt their kid was really competing at the highest level in two sports. It doesn't make much sense (unless they are complementary, like football and a field event).[/quote]
