Good morning. I went online today and was reading an interesting article that had some statistics. The one that popped up at me the most was Urban Meyer from Ohio State University showing a graphic that showed that of his accepted players into the football program, of the 47 players he had, 42 of them were multi sport athletes in high school and 5 were not! That is an insane number! 89% of his football players on the graph were 2 sport athletes. I did a little more research and found that the majority of coaches in college look for multi sport athletes. So parents of young athletes, let your kids play more than 1 sport let them enjoy their time having fun and check their pulse on whether or not they are having fun playing. If it is still fun and they are dedicated to the sport, Keep Taking Them!!! Here is a great read from Mike Trout’s father. Enjoy!
Pro Athletes need to play multi sports year round
