Diversify Physical and Cognitive Activities in Youth

As a young person into the early teens and beyond, engage in a variety of physical and cognitive activities rather than specializing too early.

1 / 1

I don't know if you saw this study that was published in Science recently that explored early specialization in sport or creative endeavor versus kids that played a bunch of different sports or involved in a bunch of different creative endeavors. And it turns out that specializing too early on average doesn't play out so well in terms of kind of peak of success later.
