[quote=Anonymous]There's a researcher, Istvan Balyi, who characterizes field hockey as an "early engagement-late specialization" team sport. That means (if you agree with Balyi) that your daughter should play some field hockey in elementary school (to introduce certain field hockey-oriented technical skills during a period of "engagement"), while also playing other sports/doing other things to hone general movement skills like running and jumping, and then specialize in field hockey by training year-round essentially in just that sport between the ages of 14 and 16 in order to become elite.[/quote]
