The comment was in response to an earlier post about there not being any lax studs or game changers in this age group and that there must be a lot of soccer and hockey kids. That's not a bad thing that the lax kids in this age group play other sports.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Professional athletes say the same thing about the importance of kids playing different sports to work different muscles in their bodies. Yes both lax kids and soccer kids run but my son who plays both does a heck of a lot more running in soccer and he utilizes his leg muscles much more due to the fact that you use mainly your feet in soccer to control, move and kick the ball. Basketball you run a lot of quick bursts but you also use your arms and shoulder muscles for shooting the ball. Playing only one sport all year round does not work as many muscles in the body as doing several different sports...fact.
Thanks for the lesson in kinesiology, Dr. Missedthepoint. I had no idea that a. Hold uses his feet so much in soccer or that they need to use their arms in basketball. The More You Know! (insert Star and Rainbow here). I'd love to see your exact published study that proves playing both soccer and lax year round is good for kids legs, though. Most kids I know that do/have done both have major knee problems by the time they hit high school. But that's neither here nor there. The original post meant that the athletes of the age group must be playing soccer and hockey INSTEAD of lacrosse, hence, a shallow pool of athletes in the 2025 lax class.
