Why is this (athletes playing multi-sports) frowned upon so much? I am sure that we have talent that could be used in a multi-sport scenario.

That school across the spillway doesn't encourage it, but they don't completely poo-poo it either.

For example:

Trindon Holliday (Track and Football)
Chad Jones (Football and Baseball)
Ben McDonald (Baseball and Basketball)
Bennie Brazell (Track and Football)

I am sure there are others, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Having played football and ran track here in 99-04 I can tell you that the demand on you is too great to play both. Especially if you are at a school like ours where we do not have the unlimited academic support like the elites do. We are also not landing any Chad Jones'. We have a kid as talented as Brazell but he is not allowed to play two sports.

A lot of these kids demand that they play two sports, Marquis Goodwin while at Texas was one. World Class long jumper, who refused to give up Track. Texas was not willing to lose that kid to anyone else because he wanted to long jump.

--------This multi sport discussion reminds me why Leonard Klienpeter was truly a great athlete, maybe the best in UL's history ---all conference and NFL drafted in football, All conference in baseball, and ran legs on winning relay teams in track!!! The boy could do it!!!
