  • The Value of Multiple Sport Participation
    THE VALUE OF MULTIPLE SPORT PARTICIPATION Matt Hensley, CMAA Assistant Principal for extra-Curricular Activities Mahomet-Seymour High School The Value of Multiple Sport Participation While many people assume that we are in an “age of sport specialization,” Tracking Football’s research shows that over 80% of current Division 1 football scholarship recruits played another sport in high school.
