Should your kid be a multi-sport athlete? Or specialize? Aug 14, 2019

Show notes

71 percent of NCAA Division I football players played multiple sports as a child and 31 of the 32 first-round NFL Draft picks were multi-sport high school athletes. But there's increasing pressure to specialize.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ No. 2 pick in the 2019 draft was an infielder named Michael Busch -- who also played hockey football in high school. The year before the Dodgers picked University of West Virginia pitcher Michael Grove, who was also a hockey player. And before he was an outfielder, Dodgers 15th-round pick Joe Vranesh was a tight end/linebacker for his high school football program. The Astros’ top pick, Cal catcher Kody Lee, played water polo among other sports.

Still... everyone is chasing peak performance and the "10,000-hour" rule, but how do you weigh the benefits of specialization vs. the drawbacks (burnout, overuse injuries, etc.)?
