[Jeremy Frisch @JeremyFrisch]

Parents of young athletes:
You're being sold a bill of goods…

Early specialization…

It's a fear campaign…

Its a billion dollar dumpster fire saying:
To become a great athlete you must:
Specialize early…
Train year-round…
Compete often…

If you don’t your child is going to miss out and fall behind

And for the most part:
 It’s complete bullshit…
What it really is:

Early Development of sport-specific skills

Early success in sport

Little to no development of fundamental movement skills

Poor performances later in the sport

Higher chance of injury

Higher Chance of Burnout from Sport

Early start…Early finish!

It's a complete lack of understanding of how humans develop…

During the first 14 years of Life:
Be a human first: 
Do plenty of activities that involve:
Rolling
Crawling
Climbing
Reaching
Bending
Rotating
Standing (1 foot)
Changing levels:

Be an athlete second:
Sprint
Jump
Hop
Climb
Wrestle
swim/bike/ski
catch/kick/throw/trap Etc

Sprinkle in lots of activities and multiple sports! 

I can't guarantee a Div 1 scholarship but I can say that kids will be more Coordinated, stronger, more flexible, cardiovascularly fit, more resistant to fatigue and injury, and also be calmer, less stressed, leaner, and able to learn new skills. Skills like complex sports specific skills.

You've asked for it. Here it comes. Part 1 out of 4 on all the drills I found online with the Rookie Training Camp.

Huge thank you to everyone who has helped me find some of them.

Make sure to share and stay tuned for part 2.

Foot, Cone, and Hop. Variation of Foot, Flip, and Catch. Put foot in the cone and try to hop back to partner without it falling off. When all cones are picked up, class gets their record time. Thanks @physedreview #physed

[Kent Hamilton @MrHamiltonPE]

We added a defender to BOUNCE BALL and it took the game to a whole new level! Teams pass the ball around the circle to get an open throw at the exercise ball. If someone on your team catches the bounce (including the thrower), a point is scored!
