On this episode we discuss the hot topic of youth specializing in one sport early on in their "career". Our host Matt Swift, PT, DPT has a conversation with Dr. Alfred Atanda a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. As a parent this question will eventually come up- "Should we just focus on one sport?" While there is not "right" answer to when, there are a lot of things to consider. There are risks involved when kids specialize in one sport early on. This conversation will give you the perspective of an orthopedic surgeon who sees the effects of kids specializing too early in their sport.
