It’s almost been 2 decades since I entered the world of pediatric sports medicine. It’s been over 30 years since I was in high school sports. The typical 3 sport athlete has certainly become less common since then, but certainly not extinct. Both boys and girls have seen their sports become more organized, starting training at younger ages, and an ever-increasing focus on year-round participation in a single sport. Finding less competitive recreational leagues and even intramural sports options can be a great struggle as our young athletes get older. But what do we know about youth sports specialization? We talk a lot that sports specialization may not be so great for our young athletes, but is that true? Today on the podcast we have an expert in youth sports specialization to help us work through this.
