Child athletes may sometimes focus on one sport . may involve year-round training and competing at elite national or international levels. Parents may engage in excessive pressure in one sport to increase training to improve performance. Physical injuries are an obvious concern with sports specialization, but other issues can also occur. A child who focuses on only one sport could miss benefits of varied activity by participating in more than one sport, cautions the American Academy of Pediatrics. Participating in a variety of different sports expands skills, enables greater mobility and movement, increases kids’ enjoyment and enhances positive attitudes.
