Benefits of playing multiple sports for youth athletes should not specialize in one sport, but instead participate in multiple sports. But should they?
A hot topic and debate in youth sports is that youth athletes should not specialize in one sport, but instead participate in multiple sports. The benefits of playing multiple sports can be more profound than you realize. It’s very easy for youth athletes today to specialize in one sport due to the influence of school and club sports and even more so if the athlete lives in a climate where an outdoor sport can be played year round. There is a pretty good amount of research that proves youth athletes should participate in multiple sports. Here is a quick stat that speaks for itself: “More than 90% of Super Bowl LIII players were multi-sport athletes” according to Tracking Football. Avoiding burnout, reducing injury, keeping options open, and new experiences are some of the reasons athletes should participate in multiple sports.
