MILESTONE ONE RESEARCH PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION DRAFT 2
Milestone One: Research Proposal Introduction Draft
There is so much pressure in the world we live in today on kids to excel in athletics so
they can be offered scholarships to play at the college level and receive an education. Some of
these pressures are put on by parents, some by coaches and even possibly teachers. These people
think that having a child specialize in one sport at an early age and devoting all their time and
energy to that sport will help them to get better and excel at it. They don’t realize that they could
potentially be putting the child at risk of specific overuse chronic injuries, slowing their athletic
development and even hurting their mental and social development.
Injuries are at an all-time high in children, especially lower extremity injuries that can put
children out of athletics and impede their daily life for an extended period, sometimes 4-6 weeks.
These injuries can come from the repetitive motions of playing only one sport and playing that
sport all 365 days of the year. Children's bodies are developing, their muscles and bones are
growing and shaping to what they will be for the rest of their lives. They weren’t necessarily
built to throw a baseball, jump and shoot a basketball year-round or perform the demands and
stresses of gymnastics (Hecimovich, 2004). Also, when parents pull their children away from
other sports, they may be removing them from their friends and isolating them from social
development opportunities (Hecimovich, 2004).
This study will investigate athletes who specialized in their sport at a young age and what
effect that had on their bodies and compare it to athletes who played multiple sports throughout
their lives. According to Bell, Lang, Valovich McLeod, McCaffrey, Zaslow, & McKay, (2018)
“sport specialization is defined as intense, year-round training in a single sport and may include
the exclusion of other sports” (p.241). The purpose of this study is to determine whether
specializing in a sport is detrimental to athletes. The study will look into if specializing in a sport

causes harm through amount of injuries sustained and general social and mental well-being of
the athletes. This study asks what effect the specialization in sports has on athlete's physical
development including the amount of injuries attained and sociological development, such as
mental health and wellbeing. Hopefully this study can help to educate coaches and parents to
encourage athletes to participate in multiple different sports and all types of physical activity.
