Is the average kid still playing multiple sports at the same clip as they did 10, 20 or 30 years ago? What about the kids signing to play football these days?
I have a 14 year old and 11 year old and I’m of the old school “play a bunch of sports, play sports because their fun (i.e.- don’t worry about the “next level” at age 14) and at the end genetics make the call on how successful you are” camp. I feel like the 12 year old going soccer only despite just being average is setting himself up for a lifetime of bad athletes in his family lineage because he can’t throw a ball.
