The kids who play all year round, have peaked as lax players and generally either don't improve much, or burn out


According to who? the guy whose kid isn't getting any college looks? My committed kid and most of his committed friends only play lax competitively. The kid who competes in more than one sport is the exception. Not to say my son does not like to kick around the soccer ball or play hoops with his buddies. This multisport thing is silly despite what article you cite!
