Nice to get some local data published on a topical issue - great job Jody! The associations of early specialisation and sport volume with musculoskeletal injury in New Zealand children jsams.org/article/S1440-…

Minister of Sport and Recreation Honorable GrantRobertson1 addresses the room and reminds us of “The importance of sport to building communities” @AUTsportandrec #autuni #AUTalumni

This post should be shared everywhere reinforcing why specialization takes away from the most important thing for youth athletes... You're a KID. Let Kids be just that, KIDS. Let them play without fear of mistakes, be with friends, and have FUN. ericasuter.com/an-open-letter…

I am fairly confident in saying that this is NOT going to drive increased development of more talented players. Its focus is too young, too myopic, too specialized, too pressurized. You’ve been blinded by the unicorns and survivors, and misled by economic forces.
