So many things wrong with this: 1) Multi-sport athletes develop and transfer over unique skills that specialists will not have 2) Multi-sport athletes experience less burnout 3) “we support you, but…” isnt honesty or support, its leveraging fear to get guys to quit other sports I could keep going, but if you’re a young student-athlete reading this, ignore bad coaching like this. You get to be in high school ONCE. Play all the sports you want, work hard in those sports and any offseasons, and you’ll be the best you can be. You will ABSOLUTELY not fall behind less talented specialists. IF you are truly a college-bound athlete, playing multiple sports is PROVEN to maximize your abilities long-term! And if you are an average player in two sports, quitting one doesnt make you better in the other. Have FUN. Dont shortchange your HS experience bc some coach wants to try and fear-bait you into specializing when we all know the best athletes play anyway.
