To specialise or to generalise??? We’ve heard lots of differing opinions on this over the years. So many examples of both in elite sport. Roger Federer showing the benefits of generalising (he didn’t focus fully on tennis until his mid-teens) and Tiger Woods clearly benefiting from specialising with a golf club in his hands as a toddler !!! Sure you all have seen other examples.
Nice infographic here showing the information , the pros and the cons.
