I want my program to win at every level. The reason that we play the sport is to have fun, and winning truly is fun.

However, ultimately it depends on the athlete, but there are some benefits to focusing on one sport whether it be gaining more experience, exposure to college recruiting, or even just financially or time- wise being best for the family of that athlete. As a coach, however, I encourage my athletes to participate in at least one other sport because I think that it exposes them to different
