Here is a great article from the ‘Changing the Game Project’ website.  It discusses some of the draw-backs to the ‘early specialization’ model in youth sports.  Many of the points raised in this article are directly applicable to youth soccer here in Canada, and I really like the fact that the arguments made in favor of ‘late specialization’ are all backed by scientific research and evidence.

I’d love to hear you thoughts about this topic.  Drop me a line here to get the conversation started.

Is it Wise to Specialize?
