To reach their potential in sport. [/quote]

That's too wishy-washy.  [b]If you don't care at all about college recruitment, then play three sports.

Some incredible athletes like Patrick Mahomes could have gone pro in either football or baseball...most professional or even college athletes had to specialize.

I don't think you will ever hear of a top professional soccer player ever seriously playing another sport.

The Dominican Republic has the most per capita players in the MLB, and those kids don't do anything else.[/quote]

That's wrong.  I have two kids who played three sports, one each season.  Both ended up playing D1 in one sport, one of them after only having started to play it as a sophomore.  If you're trying to develop your athlete's general skill, they can excel at most any sport.  Of course you can't take up ice hockey as a 16 yr old, but you can switch from hockey to lacrosse or football or whatever.[/quote]
