Parents of young athletes:
You're being sold a bill of goods…
Early specialization…
It's a fear campaign…
Its a billion dollar dumpster fire saying:
To become a great athlete you must:
Specialize early…
Train year-round…
Compete often…
If you don’t your child is going to miss out and fall behind
And for the most part:
It’s complete bullshit…
What it really is:
Early Development of sport-specific skills
Early success in sport
Little to no development of fundamental movement skills
Poor performances later in the sport
Higher chance of injury
Higher Chance of Burnout from Sport
Early start…Early finish!
It's a complete lack of understanding of how humans develop…
During the first 14 years of Life:
Be a human first:
Do plenty of activities that involve:
Rolling
Crawling
Climbing
Reaching
Bending
Rotating
Standing (1 foot)
Changing levels:
Be an athlete second:
Sprint
Jump
Hop
Climb
Wrestle
swim/bike/ski
catch/kick/throw/trap Etc
Sprinkle in lots of activities and multiple sports!
I can't guarantee a Div 1 scholarship but I can say that kids will be more Coordinated, stronger, more flexible, cardiovascularly fit, more resistant to fatigue and injury, and also be calmer, less stressed, leaner, and able to learn new skills. Skills like complex sports specific skills.
