[quote=Anonymous]One of my grandsons: Walked at 9 months. Was the "best" at any sport he tried. Every coach wanted him to drop everything else and only do X. Set some county records at age 8 or 9. Refused to specialize. We didn't push just let him play for fun. No expensive clubs or clinics. Now in High School. Plays three varsity sports at a "sporty" school. Is one of the better players but not the most polished. Has talked to several recruiters, but wants to wait to see if that is what hew wants to do. I personally would prefer he not do Div. 1 sports because i want him to have a more normal college experience. Kids develop at different rates athletically. You cannot tell at 10 who will make it to NFL or MLB. Or even who will be recruited. So just provide fun opportunities. Stress teamwork and sportsmanship. Don't forget academics and the arts.[/quote]
