The one sports focus is bad news for kids. It limits their development from an athletic standpoint and makes injuries more likely. Many baseball docs attribute the drastic recent increase in Tommy John surgery (pitchers) to kids specializing in sports at an early age. My son LOVES football, but also plays basketball and baseball. I think the diversity is good, plus he has fun. Anybody else remember Nolan Ryan throwing around a football to warm up for pitching a game? He always said it helped to stretch more and different muscles.
