[QUOTE="bigv, post: 255123, member: 835"] I have been teaching and coaching for over 22 yrs. All levels from little kids to Head Varsity coach. Times are changing a bit. There are far less multi-sport athletes than before. They can't play them all because one sport will take up 10 months. Also, we are seeing a big jump in some athletes giving up that sport. We are seeing them 15-16 yrs old and are quite tired of running and gunning and never getting a break. All of the sudden these super stars are giving it up. Another fact to remember is genetics. Mental and physical. They will take over one day. So your super start stud in 5th grade may be a pud by the time he's a jr cuz now everyone has arm pit hair etc. I have played all sports and coached most. Played Hs, College and yrs of amature bball. I don't like the state of HS sports. They are pushed too hard and DRIVEN! Parents act like their lives depend on their kid making or playing on the team when in reality 97% of the kids will never touch a ball again when they graduate. Push your kids academically folks!
