Factors Shape results
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, children with high allostatic loads have been found to show lags in cognitive and behavioral development compared to their peers with more favorable circumstances. Other risk factors, such as living in a single-parent family or low parent education levels, especially when combined with poverty, can markedly increase children’s chances of adverse outcomes
Young athletes are not outliers to that trend, in fact, their paths to realizing their respective dreams is more arduous than their non-athlete counterparts;
As athletes grow and mature, sports become much more than just loving to play the game and trying hard. As early as 6 years old, athletes begin to display a level of dedication, sacrifice and discipline that will help them stand out among other athletes…and often times that’s still not enough.
Per the NCAA, there are more than 480,000 student athletes and fewer than 2% will go pro in their sport.
