Use it or lose it. Data has shown that when we don’t use our body we lose our physical capabilities extremely quickly. In fact 2 weeks of disuse has been shown to significantly decrease muscle mass, protein synthesis and muscular strength. One way we can try to limit these effects when we are unable to adequately load our body is to use blood flow restriction. This way we can still create metabolic adaptations without having to load the affected tissues significantly.

This has been amplified by many High School athletes making their college commitments when they are freshman or Sophomores. Although the data suggest that highly specialized youth athletes make up slightly more of the the scholarship athletes in the NCAA, most kids who are specializing aren’t getting scholarships. Most Elite high level athletes have also acknowledged the importance of playing multiple sports as a kid. My push for delaying sports specialization becomes amplified when we look at the factors outside of performance. Highly Specialized youth athletes are more likely to become injured, experience depression and burnout. The sad truth is most everyone who “makes it”, made it because they were a great athlete and not because they specialized when they were 12 instead of 16. Allow the kids to enjoy multiple sports and develop as a holistic athlete
