How is it terrible advice?


Because being mediocre in three sports doesn’t prepare you to be exceptional at anything. Being exceptional at one sport definitely prepares you to be exceptional at another.

Upper level U13 and U14 clubs is where the US national team and professional clubs look, not some random high school.

Over use of your legs?

This thread has devolved into what I exactly thought it would devolve into.

You can be excellent at one sport while still playing multiple. There is a reason that Olympic athletes cross train. Tim Howard and Christian Pulisic were both avid basketball players before focusing on soccer. Players flame out all the time due to injuries and cross training by playing different sports rather than being hyper focused on one helps prevent this. Obviously elite athletes will eventually specialize.
