Youth sports is on life support.
If you think it’s fine, you’re not paying attention.
Kids age 10-12 are playing way too many tournaments and travel ball. Parents treat it like the World Series. They need less travel, more rest, fueling, and actual development. They’re 12 YO.
The data backs it up:
❌70% of kids drop out of organized sports by age 13.
❌Professionalization (year-round single-sport focus, heavy travel/tournaments) drives overuse injuries, overtraining, and burnout.
❌Nearly 1 in 10 youth athletes experience burnout; up to 35% deal with overtraining.
❌Early specialization before 12-13 raises injury and burnout risks significantly.
Multi-sport kids who rest and play for fun stick around longer and develop better.
Let them be kids. Prioritize recovery, fun, and long-term health over trophies. The best athletes often sample multiple sports early and specialize later.
Who else sees this?
Spring sports are back… and so are the injuries.
From shoulder pain in baseball pitchers to ACL tears in soccer players, physician assistant Kevin Collmar says this season brings a spike in overuse injuries — especially for athletes jumping in after a quiet offseason.
The game plan to stay off the sidelines?
✔️ Warm up (especially in cooler temps)
✔️ Stretch those tight muscles
✔️ Stay active year-round — not just in-season
✔️ Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
And if something feels off — don’t wait it out. Getting it checked early can make all the difference.

I am excited to announce my commitment to Wake Forest University. I am humbled and incredibly grateful for this opportunity to call Wake “home” as I continue to focus academically and athletically next year. Thank you again to God, my family and my coaches for always believing in me and supporting me every step of the way.

A massive new study on peak performance included 34,000 international top performers: Nobel laureates, renowned classical music composers, Olympic champs, and the world’s best chess players. It shows early specialization is a trap, and the road to greatness is long and varied.
