[quote=Anonymous]Greeting NOVA coach --- great topic

I have 14 1/2 years old and he is currently playing both soccer and tennis at the same time.  He is 6 feet 1 and 180lbs.  He is currently in the top 20th mid-Atlantic for tennis and he is playing HS varsity for a private school in the Mclean area.  Over the summer, he is much more interested in soccer than tennis. We took him to several soccer coaches for consulting and evaluations.  They said to us that he can play D1 soccer if he concentrates solely on soccer from now on.  If he keeps playing two sports, it will be hard to catch up with kids who have been playing soccer since the age of 5.

He does not want to give up tennis just yet but the idea of D1 soccer sound very interesting to him.  He is a very good athlete and he trains everyday at the country club.  He run 1 mile in under 5 minutes and the 100 meters dash in under 11 seconds.

As parents, how do you when to tell your kid that it is  time to specialize in one sport in order to maximize one potential?
