Reply to "Brooks Robinson H.S. All Star Game"

Bear,

That is correct! He was the starting QB last fall, and will start again this fall. He and I have spoken about this. He has gotten some pressure from baseball folks about quitting football and concentrating on baseball year around. As his family member, a former hs football and baseball player, and a former hs football and baseball coach, I was sort of biased in offering advice. Anyone who has ever played football understands the sacrifice and the special feeling you have after playing a game. I told him that I always regretted not going to a small college and playing both. He says he really loves football. I told him that fall baseball wasn't worth him second guessing his decision not to play all fall. I think this is an individual decision...works out for some, but is not for everybody. I have faced the same quandary recently with my daughter. She is 8 and plays softball and s****r, but her first love is swimming. She has asked me about giving up the former 2 to focus year around on swimming. I definitely think 8 is too young to "specialize", so her mom and I have encouraged her to continue playing the other sports as long as she enjoys them.
