My son played year round club baseball AND 3 sports. What he was absolutely fortunate with was the fact that he had coaches that knew baseball was his #1 sport, but they also knew that they were better off having him on their teams the majority of the time rather than not at all. There are kids that are just true athletes and can play at any sport and be successful at it. His wrestling coach said, "We would rather have you here most of the time than not at all" and he was never punished for missing a match for a baseball tournament. It makes me sad that there aren't more coaches with that same mindset. It would allow so many more kids not to have to make that choice. Too many coaches who believe their sport is the only one that counts.
