 Coaches Should Consider a Multisport Player's Preferences Firstby Jon Chua The question arises as to whether or not a coach should push for an athlete to simply concentrate on one sport in high school. The answer to this is a resounding "NO". NCSA CEO and founder Chris Krause says in his book Athletes Wanted that: College coaches also want to get the most bang for their buck. An athletes who brings skills, techniques, and that extra edge of playing two or more sports is always going to win out over a single-sport athlete costing the same amount of scholarship dollars but with less diverse skills. From a coach's standpoint, when recruiting a player you should know what sport is their preference. A student forced to choose between two sports should choose the sport the athlete loves most which may or may not be the stronger sport. During college, playing a sport can be a full-time job, so being passionate about the sport is critical to success and longevity. The "edge" that a multisport athlete develops from varied competition can help them to close the gap between the sport they enjoy and the sport they are more talented at. Their work ethic will be focused upon one sport which will allow them to develop themselves more. This article was provided by our partners at the National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA).
