And if you don't believe it then why are same kids usually the best in volleyball, soccer, basketball and lacrosse all the same kid?

Watch the bio's of the kids coming out. All conference in soccer, basketball lacrosse etc....


And the coaches love these multi sport kids. Asked to choose between two kids for the same lacrosse spot on the team, if all else is equal, always going to take the multi sport kid.
