My sons finishing his freshman year and is a dual sport athlete, soccer and track. He also plays club soccer. His club coach is telling us he needs to focus on one sport because he's coming from track totally exhausted to his practices. My sons fine with that, but we hear the really want two varsity letters.
Will focusing on one sport, soccer hurt his chances? He'll be Varsity in the fall, and is clearly better at that over track. He'd no doubt reach varsity level in track by his junior/senior year though. The club soccer coach also says we risk injury (especially overuse) when he's trying to do both sports.
So would playing both Varsity and club soccer be enough if he's a strong candidate everywhere else?
I don't think he's going to be able to make D1 as of now but who knows.
I guess the other option is to give up club soccer and play fall ball and run in the spring but again his passion is more with soccer.
Thanks!
