About this listen
Sport specialization can be a divisive topic in the United States. On one side people feel like it’s the best route towards becoming an elite athlete or being able to play in University and on the other they feel like playing multiple sports allow for a more well-rounded athlete and ultimately more successful at one sport. The truth is that it’s not so simple as to say kids should play one sport or multiple, a lot of consideration has to go into those conversations. I sat down with Professor Wiersma to talk about the benefits and drawbacks of both specialization and diversification and talked about some of the barriers that our youth development systems have created that make the conversation even more difficult.
