I've had coaches try to get me to commit a kid to a single sport. Do not allow.
You and I don't a agree on much you big ole crazy...but we sure as shite agree on this! haha
I was a very good athlete as a kid, and I'm sure that if there were travel teams and year round leagues and high end coaching I'd have wanted to do that. In retrospect though, I can't imagine what I'd have chosen...which is kind of the point now.
I made great friends playing sports...and not all of them played every sport, but many did. The idea of missing out on playing everything I could and the experiences I had because of the diversity of both the sports, players, people I met in the hopes that specialization at 6 or 7 would have yielded some scholarship, professional or Olympic end goal seems like a bad trade off to me.
The mileage of others clearly varies...
