Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI also have a multi sport kid and although soccer is a clear cut favorite for her, the other sport is also pretty important to her and she won't give it up (at least not now, and as her parent, I hope she never does, although that will be up to her). I agree that it makes ECNL or GDA nearly impossible to consider. We're sticking with NPL, even though we hear it's a bad move. Wondering if NPL has more multi-sport athletes?

Our daughter quit playing other sports when she started with overuse injuries. No sense playing basketball and lax if she isn’t serious about those sports. It just puts unnecessary wear and tear on the body. Think of it like a car and mileage.

Is that like studying too hard and your brain hurts?
What a load of crybabies

Huh? It takes a 3 second Google search to find hundreds of scholarly articles on the effects of overuse injuries in European soccer leagues. But keep fooling yourself that this is some kind of embellished American phenomenon, and keep pushing your little 11 year old stah to make you proud. Daddy needs something to brag about, right?

How is overuse quantitatively determined? What test proves it? Blood test, urine test, x-ray, MRI .... ? If you play lots of sports, you get banged up or hurt; period. The more you play, the more likely you are to get fatigued or injured from time to time. When it starts to happen regularly, cut back on something or quit altogether.

Also better for mental stress relief.

We’ve had good luck with swim, but I could also see gymnastics and tennis working as a “crosstraining” tool. Forget baseball/softball and lacrosse, as neither does much for soccer given the focus on hand-eye coordination in both. Lacrosse has some interesting similarities in movement patterns and conditioning, but you’d be better off running track if speed and conditioning was the goal.
Honestly, some rest and recovery days and a good strength and conditioning program should be more useful to a soccer player than playing other sports, unless mental burnout is an issue.
