Exploratory Essay
A. Does playing more than one sport help or hinder children's athleticism?
Over the years i have hear this topic thrown around and 50% of the time i heard that it was good to play more than one sport and 50% of the time i heard it would hinder the kids abilities. i feel that researching and getting a better understanding of this would be intriguing to an audience of the present day parents and to the future parents.
D. i feel right at home on this topic growing up my dad pretty much kept me focused on baseball and baseball only. I think that it helped me more than hindered me in my athletic ability. there are some draw backs in not being able to play more sports at the same time but it personally didn't bother me that much. my perspective on the situation is kind of different from how i was raised, shockingly, i feel that you should let your child play all the sports possible at a younger age and by the time he or she is nearing their teen years focus towards one particular sport and strive to excel in that particular sport. so in the initial response i believe it is true 50/50 but its more of the have a diverse range of sports at a younger age and the at the teens focus it towards one sport and fine tune your skills.
Andrew, this topic is very interesting, but the issue itself needs more careful wording and you only mention two perspectives on the issue instead of four... Also, I see that your annotated bibliography is not on this topic. I suggest you write a new topic proposal for the essay you are actually going to write! Let me know if I can help you focus your efforts!
