Not enough kids these days free play on a daily basis, and they focus constantly on one sport year round. Too often I encounter 8 year old kids playing soccer 7 days a week with multiple game tournaments every weekend. This is detrimental to youths in two ways: it not only leads to incomplete general movement skill development and coordination issues, but also creates overuse injuries.
My advice: play as many sports as you can growing up, and when it comes to training for both youths and advanced athletes, incorporate a healthy dose of movement, mobility, and dynamic flexibility exercises into your workouts.
