[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are still doing that. Maybe the players who play two travel sports will just take the bench time.  Seems hard to do 2 sports like this[/quote]

Playing multiple sports is where the best athletes reside.  Good lacrosse players are just that, good lacrosse players who don't play any other sports.  Great athletes can play and excel at multiple sports.  [/quote]

My daughter is a great athlete, but she is unfortunately not great at any of the sports she plays because she is spread too thin and can't fully commit to any one of them.  In retrospect, I wish she had focused more on one of the sports no later than start of her freshman year.   [/quote]

This is the minority rather than the norm.  Great athletes excel at every sport they play.[/quote]

If it’s the norm then surely the vast majority of five star lacrosse recruits would also be five stars recruits in their other sports, right? [/quote]Excel doesn't mean limited to the top 20 or 100 players in the entire country.  Playing other sports, whether great at them or not, can provide a host of other benefits as well.

Something like olympic level gymnastics is going to take 365/52/24/7, but lacrosse is littered at all levels including the top with multi-sport athletes.  Most rosters, probably the vast majority.

That's not to say some that just focus on it can't be or aren't successful, but the idea that's going to be what elevates someone in this sport at least is pretty specious.  [/quote]

We may be saying the same thing. The best lacrosse players I know are athletic and tend to be good at other sports as well. But there is a big difference between being excellent enough to play a sport at D1 college level and being good enough to play another sport at varsity level in high school. The former requires a much bigger commitment and it is rare to find an athlete who can fully commit to multiple sports at the highest level. There just are not enough hours. [/quote]
