[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by specializing? Like doing nothing else but the one chosen sport?

My son plays baseball- has played either rec or travel baseball since 1st grade (now a freshman). He's also played rec basketball but that is a minimal commitment, as the HS league has no practices and several games a week.

He did make the JV baseball team but is nowhere near as hardcore as some of those kids are. There are definitely kids on the school team who play other sports too.

He's starting to feel a bit burned out though and is debating skipping fall travel ball. Not sure if that will hurt his chances of remaking JV next spring but for a kid whose baseball career will end in HS, I feel like basically going February to November is just too much baseball. [/quote]

Do you regret specializing? [/quote]

I guess I don't think of him as really specializing, to be honest. He's tried other sports and for some reason, fell in love with baseball. And as I mentioned, he still plays rec basketball every year. [/quote]
