POWERFUL LIFESTYLE TIPS - WHY MULTISPORT (TRIATHLON) IS GREAT FOR KIDS Tip #7 – Everyone Has a Chance to Participate

Swimming, biking and running are activities that most children, even those with disabilities, are able to participate in, making inclusion another valuable attribute of this versatile and wonderful sport. How often do children sign up for a sport with unbridled enthusiasm anticipating the fun to participate, only to be relegated to the bench. Although there are lessons to be learned in just being a part of the team, let's face it, this isn't great fun. In triathlon everyone participates. Everyone has the same opportunity to cross the finish line and feel that great sense of accomplishment. One of the most compelling reasons to consider triathlon as a competitive sport for children is that no one is excluded from the competition.

POWERFUL LIFESTYLE TIPS - WHY MULTISPORT (TRIATHLON) IS GREAT FOR KIDS Tip #6 – Burn Out and Boredom May Be Reduced

6/8/2016

Very few elementary school athletes becomes a high school star. And if you're wondering about the chances of going on to play at the collegiate level, well they're certainly not great.  Only 3% of high school senior basketball players will play NCAA sponsored basketball. Only less than 1% of high school football players out of an estimated pool of over 1,000,000 go on to play pro football. Achieving this type of success is clearly very limited to the smallest percentage of child athletes. Children who intensely specialize in one sport to the exclusion of others is not only setting themselves and sometimes their parents up for great disappointment, but the chance of "burn-out" and boredom is likely to be less when concentrating on a 3 discipline sport like triathlon.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, in their guidelines for preventing overuse injuries in children, lists the importance of cross-training as a part of an athletic program. Triathlon racing consists of swimming, biking and running with an in-between period known as the transition phase.  Preparation for this sport has built in cross-training with weight bearing and non-weight bearing aerobic activity. It is a win-win proposition for any young athlete!
