Winter sports season is approaching us very quickly. Coming off your fall sport may be tiring or challenging but being a multi-sport athlete has many benefits including: building endurance, balance, a range of movement, staying competitive, learning to coexist with a different group of teammates and coaches, and how to deal with adversity.

Injury Reduction: When playing multi-sports you use different muscle groups which can reduce the risk of injury.

Improved Fitness: Playing multi-sports can improve your overall fitness and reduce your risk of obesity and other health problems.

Better balance and endurance: By playing multiple sports you can build endurance, balance and range of movement.

Psychological benefits: Playing multiple sports can reduce the risk of psychological stress and burnout.

Life lessons: Participating in multiple sports can contribute to teaching valuable life lessons.

College recruitment: Colleges are more likely to recruit multi-sport athletes.

Leadership: Multi-sport student athletes tend to be visible leaders in the hallways and in their classrooms. Part of being a MOUNTIE!

Cross-Training: Your body strengthens as a whole when you cross train.

Different assets: You can bring different assets into other sports. For examples: Wrestling & Football helps with foot work and tackling, Golf ,Tennis, baseball, softball help with hand/eye coordination.
