I would say sometimes this is true, especially at the younger ages. However at the HS age some kids may just decide they want to be the best they can be at 1 sport and/or would rather have more free time. I quitIt's the parents, right?
Parents want their kid to be the best. Parents want to get a full ride.
basketball after my freshmen year (mainly) for this reason (the other reason was that I couldn't stand the varsity basketball coach..) I saw that I had the opportunity to be a really good baseball player or just a decent 6' point guard in basketball, so I chose baseball even though I still
loved basketball (still played pickup ball in the park all summer until graduated). Of course that said, I tore my ACL as soon as I made that decision which pretty much ended the "really good at baseball" thing...LOL!!
