Playing multiple sports lowers the risk of repetitive strain and overuse injuries, as different activities engage different muscle groups and movement patterns. It also reduces psychological fatigue by keeping sports enjoyable and varied.
Rotating through sports may delay the development of advanced technical and tactical abilities, especially in sports where early expertise is vital (e.g., gymnastics, figure skating).
Youth programs and scouts often favor early-specializing athletes, meaning late specialists may be overlooked during critical talent identification windows.
