[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to make football, travel hockey, and lacrosse work.  Football is the one that needs to go.  The risk of injury is high,  the season overlaps with hockey, and the football coaches expect football to be a priority, but it's not for DS.  He wants to be able to go to football so long as there is no hockey practice or game.  Hockey + lacrosse work well together (playing for a club that is spring/summer only).   [/quote]

Sounds like as long as your DS is on board you have a decent path forward to downselect but not completely specialize.[/quote]

Down-select is such a better description than specialize.

Bc even if your child wants to really dedicate their time to one sport, its still beneficial to find other training/sport to do when possible, just to introduce new movements/patterns/etc into their training.

So drop football, for sure, and focus on hockey.  But maybe in the spring, find a track program, or a bootcamp series in the summer to keep his body moving. [/quote]
