E12 | Clay’s Cortex | 1 Sport Year-Round vs. Multiple Sports Throughout the Year

This seems to be a very hot topic right now and with that being said I get asked about this at least one time per week.
-
The more is better is not always the case especially when it comes to the body.
-
We have heard it takes 10,000 hours to perfect a skill, or become a master of your craft. When should that 10,000 hours start? How long should the journey take from start to finish?
-
In this episode Curtis talk about his perspective when it comes to youth sports and will go over things to think about if you/ your family and your son or daughter are about dive into this route.
-
The pro's and con's or the risk to benefit will be covered in this episode of Clay's Cortex Podcast.
-
This will be a introduction into E13, so I guess you can say this is a 2 part with this being part 1.
-
I hope this episode will help you as a athlete or as a parent to make a decision for the long term instead of the short term. Take a marathon mentality not a 100m dash approach.

Articles and books covering this topic and what was the tipping of the scale when it came to talk about this episode.
