My Sports Kid

A lot of kids today are being pressured by their coaches to specialize in one sport. As parents we should discourage this kind of thing. Unless your son or daughter says this is the only sport I want to play, you should encourage them to participate in other sporting activities. Focusing on only one sport can actually inhibit a kid from developing the needed motor skills to become a top notch athlete. College recruiters and pro scouts want to she a kid playing other sports for this very reason. Therefore, try to pursuade your son or daughter, especially at the younger ages, to get involved with as many activities as they can.
