In this day and age of
just focusing on one
sport, it’s refreshing to
see many athletes buck-
ing that trend. Stu-
dent-athletes are now
figuring out that coaches
want their players well
rounded and not just fo-
cusing on one sport all
the time.
At some point a stu-
dent-athlete does have to
choose where they want
their focus to be – espe-
cially if they are playing
at the next level. But, it
still doesn’t mean they
can’t excel in multiple
sports. Even some of the
best athletes in the world
played more than one
sport as a child.
And, even though they
may have chosen one
over the other – they still
might toil in that sport
from time-to-time. Tim
Tebow comes to mind
who had a love for two
sports. Tebow played
both baseball and foot-
ball growing up before he
choose football to con-
tinue his college career.
As we all know Tebow
had a very successful
college career and took
his game to the National
Football League. While
football didn’t work out
the way he wanted it to,
Tebow never lost his pas-
sion for the other sport –
baseball.
He still had the drive
to be a great athlete and
“I love playing both
lacrosse and soccer,”
stated Notaro. “They
are
both
super
competitive
games
and my teammates
on both teams are
awesome.”
