For the past several years, coaches, parents, and players alike have been hungry to devour stats, quotes, and information on the benefits of being a multi-sport athlete.
Yesterday, while talking about players that signed with the Razorbacks during National Signing Day, new Arkansas head coach Chad Morris provided a few nuggets on how he, and many other coaches, view the value of playing multiple sports growing up.
"I want players that play multiple sports," Morris shared. "I feel like it does a couple things. Number one, it develops an overall skill set, a well-rounded skill set."
"Number two, it shows me that they can be coached in different ways, because every coach that he deals with, in each different sport, deals with him a little different. So that's intriguing to me."
"If I have a player that is dead equal, and one plays one sport and the other plays two sports, I'm going to go after the two sport athlete first."
