A football helmet lies on the ground while members of the Floral Park High School football team are in the background practicing for the 2015 season, on the morning of August 19, 2015.
Former research has shown that repetitive sport specialization can lead to injury and burnout, and while this may still be the case, this new study,, recognizes that it’s likely more nuanced than that. According to the research team, the findings from this study suggested that athletes who gain satisfaction or pleasure from an ability to perform and compete at a higher level and seek to do so as long as possible are more likely to specialize than athletes who enjoy the conflict or "win at all costs" mentality.
