General
Multi-Sport Athlete
A player who competes in more than one sport.
Playing several sports through childhood is the pattern most associated with reaching a high level later, and it spreads the physical load rather than repeating one motion year-round. It gets harder to sustain as club calendars grow, which is a scheduling problem before it is a development one.
