Reply to "Football and baseball"

Hi NORTHTXDAD,

I look at it first from a health standpoint: is your son big and fast enough and aggressive enough to withstand the dangers of football? The more timid players tend to be the ones getting hurt. On the other side of the coin, doctors will tell you multi-sport athletes get injured less because they use a variety of muscles and experience less boredom. And finally, in our situation, college baseball coaches loved that my son played football (and basketball) as well as football. The coach of his college team actually went out to see one of his football games in high school! My son still played a baseball game here or there and did almost daily hitting drills during the fall but really enjoyed playing football and I'm glad he was able to experience that. I think he learned more from being on a football team than he did playing any other sport.

Best of luck.
