It's downtime for high school sports...right?
Summer. Sunshine. Swimming pools. And enough hot dogs to make you forget about your lack of exercise. (Running after the ice cream truck doesn’t count.)
Uh huh. Try telling that to the kids who play a sport.
They’re competing in organized scrimmages for their school.
Or traveling around to AAU events, Colt League games and tennis tournaments.
Or going through tailor-made workout programs, as my colleague Robert Bell wrote about last month.
In the ever more competitive world of sports, the term “off-season” is becoming less and less relevant.
What do you think about that? Is it a good thing that student-athletes stay so committed to their crafts? Or are we pushing them to sacrifice too much of their free time? A little bit of both, I’d say.
While you ponder that, I’ve got a Sno Cone to chase after.
