Generally it depends on the school board and who has the most influence. Small towns can be real fickle. For the most part though football success equates to job security.
And there it is...The exact reason of the decline of multi-sport kids.
This statement is the reason why kids are "concentrating" on one sport.. When a multi-sport kid believes his AD thinks this way he believes his AD does not care about his dreams, his wants, his desires, his hard work he put into that other sport... and to make matters worse.. the kids who don't play football are telling the multi-sport kid.. "He does not care about us.. all he cares about is football." The multi-sport kid believe its not fair to them and the other kids on that team.
Good AD's win by keeping the multi-sport kid in their program... They are usually the best athletes
Good AD's understand the player, understand his dream, show up to their games in support, don't demean the other sport and don't blame their failures on the other sport.Ā Ā
