    In sports most players master one set of skills. For example in volleyball, a libero, a player who only plays the back row, is the best passing player on the court.

This hinders their skill set and in the end most colleges do not recruit players without well rounded skills. Author Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have mastered, you will never grow."…
