Playing Multiple Sports May Be Better - a podcast by Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson

Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson discusses a new report recommending that children play multiple sports. Children who specialize in a single sport early are at higher risk for overuse injuries, burnout, quitting sports altogether and even isolation and loneliness. Successful, even elite athletes are more likely to develop when our children don’t specialize in a single sport until late puberty, around age 15 or 16 years.
