Unfortunately, the school coaches hold all the cards. You can usually find a club coach that will work around things. I don't really understand the specialization a lot of coaches demand these days. It's not like 99.9% of these kids will be playing professionally.

I agree, but its all about winning the gold (championship). If you have that exceptional athlete other coaches will be requesting his or her services to play the sport they coach. Hate to say it, but its about what you have (athlete) that I need (coach) for the betterment of my sport..

If you are talking about a school's district track meet versus a soccer playoff game, that's an entirely different scenario. The district track meet determines who advances to regionals, just as a soccer playoff game determines who advances to the next level. That's a decision that should be made by the athlete and her family. They should decide which one is more important to her, and be willing to accept any outcome.

I've read a couple of articles recently that have attributed the rise in injuries to sports specialization. In short they stated that 20 years ago a kid would play multiple sports and go from one sport to another depending on the season. The different sports would require different skills and focus on different parts of the body, thus allowing other parts to recover. Now due to specialization it seems that kids are playing the same sport year round, and their bodies are not getting the rest that another sport would afford. So alot of injuries are coming from repetition and overuse. I had never thought of it that way but it did make sense. So I encourage my daughter to play what makes her happy.
