How do I become good at multiple sports?
sporty girl asked:
I am a 13 year old girl who is seventh grade and I will be going into eighth grade next summer. I play volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter, and softball in the spring. I want to know how to be good at all of these sports! Well, not good but great! If you are only an expert on one of these sports don’t feel like you have to answer for all of the questions! Thanks in advance!

practice is the only way. umm i used to play baseball. just ask your pitcher to throw for you and have them throw their best pitches at you as much as they can. the other things for softball come from pactice. and for basketball it just takes dedication. you have to practice for a very long time. its going to eventually come down to one or two sports, all three is very hard to do
I coach multiple sports for competitive level teams. The best multi-sport successes are those players who are naturally athletic.
The way to achieve the highest success in every sport is fitness and qualified instruction.
As you progress, you may find that you will reach your limitations with one or more of the sports that you have chosen. At that time, most athletes decide to focus on one sport … and then participate in the other sports that they enjoy, but at a less intense level.
You should consult your coaches about how you are doing … sometimes, players enjoy a sport, but just don’t have the aptitude for it. That was how baseball was for me … I loved the sport, but I did not have the ability to get really good at it regardless of how much I trained.
I was a standout soccer player, however, and never did much training at all.
An honest assessment of your potential should help you determine what sports to pursue competitively, and which ones to play just because you like to.
Good luck.
