the sake of being called a multi-sport athlete
I never knew anyone who played multiple sports just to be called a multi sport athlete. Like my kids they played because they had a passion for the sport.
Before high school whatever sport was in season was their favorite sport. When they got to high school the focus turned to the extra work necessary to become college baseball and softball players. But they still played other varsity sports.
Their schedules were very full. My daughter’s friends complained about the lack of time she had to just hang out with them. They were mostly two sport athletes. My son played three. My daughter played four. Want to have a tight schedule? Play two sports in the same season.
