Should we push young athlete specialization?

In this episode, Dr's. Kauffman and Wells discuss the potential adverse affects of early sports specialization in youth athletes.

Dr. Wells has been seeing more youth athletes who have adult types of injuries, who tend to specialize in a sport early in life.
