Southmont Athletics • ONE TEAM – ONE GOAL • Champions of Character • Winning is important • “How Great? Mountie Great!” • Athletic Department Position on Multi-Sport Athletes • Portion of Article from NFHS…. Dr. Angie Pellant, a member of the National Federation of State High School Association Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. “Parents often feel that an athletic scholarship is the only way their child will be able to attend college, “ Pellent said. “I hope we can educate our athletes and their support system about the many benefits of appropriate recovery time and mulit- sport participation.” Pellant has seen an overall increase in tendinitis of the upper and lower extremities in high school athletes. Other common overuse injuries include shoulder elbow usage with throwing sports. One study estimates overuse injuries account for 50 percent of all injuries in middle school and high school, according to stopsportsinjuries.org. “Playing multiple sports generally allows for less concern about overuse injuries when athletes involve different joints and soft tissues,” Pellant said. “Increased speed, agility (and) flexibility are a few of the benefits a multi- sport athlete may gain,” said Pellant, who is based in Idaho. “Decreased recovery time, muscle pain, and stiffness are also benefits of not specializing in any one sport.” • Chain of command procedure • Playing more than one sport in a season.
