Diversity

Athletic diversity is important for children. Most of the best athletes come from a multi sport background. So why limit a child to just one sport? If your child likes BJJ that’s great, but there’s no reason for it to be their whole life. There’s not enough money in cage fighting or professional jiu jitsu, and nobody’s offering full ride college scholarships for this sport yet. One of the greatest things about BJJ is you can compete your whole life, so it’s always going to be there, most other sports can’t say the same. If kids want to train a light schedule so they can focus on some other passion, let them. It might lead to something extraordinary.
