Playing multiple sports in high school is a winning formula.
Multi-sport participants learn from multiple coaches, participate in cross-training to strengthen athleticism and have a reduced risk of overuse injuries and burnout.

Steve Kerr's comments about AAU Basketball.
“Even if today’s players are incredibly gifted, they grow up in a basketball environment that can only be called counterproductive. AAU basketball has replaced high school ball as the dominant form of development in the teen years. I coached my son’s AAU team for three years; it’s a genuinely weird subculture. Like everywhere else, you have good coaches and bad coaches, or strong programs and weak ones, but what troubled me was how much winning is devalued in the AAU structure. Teams play game after game after game, sometimes winning or losing four times in one day. Very rarely do teams ever hold a practice. Some programs fly in top players from out of state for a single weekend to join their team. Certain players play for one team in the morning and another one in the afternoon. If mom and dad aren’t happy with their son’s playing time, they switch club teams and stick him on a different one the following week. The process of growing as a team basketball player — learning how to become part of a whole, how to fit into something bigger than oneself — becomes completely lost within the AAU fabric.”

At an AAU event today I walked away from a game because the parents sitting near me were brutal to listen to. So that means their daughters lost the opportunity to be recruited. That’s unfortunate.
