The website also found that one-third (94 players) were three-sport athletes in high school.Players like JJ Watt and coaches like Joe Maddon have been outspoken advocates of multi-sport participation. Many athletes today are convinced that specialization will significantly improve their skills in that particular sport, despite evidence to the contrary.
