Prioritising general fundamental sports training over early specialisation provides children with a well-rounded foundation that promotes physical, cognitive, and emotional growth. Mastering fundamental movement skills enhances children’s coordination, balance, and strength, while also boosting cognitive functions like memory and problem-solving. This broad-based skill set ensures that children can later specialize in any sport they choose, with the right tools and a deeper understanding of their own abilities. Moreover, it reduces the risk of injury, burnout, and frustration, ensuring that children not only excel in sports but enjoy lifelong engagement in physical activity. By focusing on mastering the basics, children are set on a path toward long-term success in both sport and academics.
