From cgs:
"If the young lady has a passion for softball that exceeds her passion for other sports, I think I would advise her to become, in her freshman or sophomore year, a one-sport athlete who takes steps to condition her body to avoid muscle imbalance and those injuries that are common to softball and who takes further steps to give herself some limited mental and physical vacations from the sport."
From FlyGirlsDad:
"Simple, play what you enjoy playing for as long as you enjoy it. Dont limit your dd's experiences for a dream you may have by making her choose a single sport at any age. If she has the drive and the talent to progress beyond HS, she will."
Both excellent examples of a philosophy I admire. As parents, our mission should be to help our daughters find their passion in life - even if it doesn't involve softball. Expose them to as many varied activities as possible, then let them choose. Our job is to keep them safe, require them to honor commitments and play by the rules.
