I think your character in Road to the Show needs to look into Hockey and Basketball and Football and maybe Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment or Grand Theft Auto.

[@blakkat4126]

I played football, wrestled, and baseball in school. Never regretted a moment of it.

[@waifubreaks1572]

Tom Glavine played hockey.

[@Hirmumyrsky]

And got drafted to NHL ahead of Hockey Hall of Fame Luc Robitaille, even when told the hockey teams he was going to play baseball...

[@waifubreaks1572]

@@Hirmumyrsky Yea I'm a Kings fan, that's how I found out. The Kings drafted him in 1984.

[@hank987]

[@stevenbartels969]

Great words of wisdom. You should have bragged up your football exploits more though. Athletes are athletes. Specializing wont make you an athlete, it will make you better due to the focus of training, but those that have athletic skill take those skills to other sports and remain successful. My son loves baseball, but has played soccer, plays football, does tae kwon do and plays the clarinet. Each one of those other sports and skills add to the total product. Tae kwon do probably has added the most to his overall skill set. The flexibility, toughness, quickness and being isolated one on one or on the mat all by yourself preforming forms and being critiqued by judges. Will he be a college athlete? Idk, doesnt matter, he will be successful at whatever he does because of the skills he has learned from sports.

“Matt Antonelli heeere...”

[@jimbo2900]

When I was a kid, my parents signed me up for everything. I played baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, guitar, piano. I think is essential to have a variety of interests. My grandfather taught my to hunt and fish as well. We only have one life, explore it.! Good topic Matt.

[@SuperComet101]

hey matt! i love your videos! i play baseball and hockey on varsity in high school right now, can you talk about hockey in a video? what did you play? what kind of a player were you? did you make varsity as a freshman?

[@d1surv]

Aidan Beast I’d like to see this, and just a series in general where you talk about other sports hockey, football, basketball, soccer etc.

[@CootersTowing1]

Why are there so many Dominicans in the bigs? They have a population of only 10 million yet make up 11% of MLB 25 man rosters. Some of those kids QUIT school at 10 and play baseball all-day, everyday.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Patrick McGowan that is why there are so many of them in the bigs. Almost every young boy in the Dominican wants to play in the bigs

[@zachtkai2157]

I can tell you played basketball at a very high level because of your video with Wade.

[@samuelhow1645]

I've heard on St Louis Cardinals radio (KMOX) that scouts look at multi-sport athletes more favorably if all other skills are equal.

[@ljw3491]

I think the more sports you play helps with hand eye coordination and would improve your baseball ability,

[@pralt1]

No kid should be focusing 100% on one sport. If they only like one sport, then fine, but need to take months long breaks. Over use is a thing.

[@softballsoftball7341]

Sir nice hai

[@amberbailey8241]

wow you played hockey and still have all of your teeth?

[@gatorslim5781]

Great video. I couldn't agree more. If you look at the top athletes in the NFL they all almost all played multiple sports in high school and beyond.

[@MrBurtonPE]

This is random but the hats on the desk behind you look like shoulder pads. Love the videos!

[@brendanclark5206]

I love your stuff Matt.

[@aarond23]

my gut is absolutely not before I watch the video

[@ryanwatts5910]

same situation for me but I’m much better at running than baseball, but baseball still for fun

[@span3631]

Matt I'd like to hear your thoughts on travel ball vs little league. My son plays both but sometimes he has to sacrifice one for the other.

[@jdholtz]

Can you do a video on the best infield drills to do by yourself?

[@jdholtz]

Thanks Matt!

[@999jbrooks]

A lot of these kids that specialize don’t learn is how to be a roll player on a team. They find baseball, they’re good at baseball and they don’t want to get in the uncomfortable position of being a grinder on the hockey team, or a blue collar guy in the paint on their basketball team, or a blocking back on the football team. Its really good for kids to learn how to contribute and how to be a team player when they aren’t the stud on the team. More guys will end up topping out of their talent level than not, and even those guys who have hall of fame talent will appreciate their teammates more if they’ve had to carry water for someone in another sport.

[@dbach1025]

Agreed 100%. My best memories and friends were from multiple sports. And look like you in Mass, here in Michigan, playing basketball got me in shape for baseball. Back in the 90s, highschool baseball was a 3 month sport. Now, it's a little different. If I could have played baseball year round, perhaps I would have had a better chance to play in college instead of walking on at a D1 school and sitting the bench 3 years. Great advice Matt

[@kennybrew100]

As a parent of a 13 year old, I would love him to play as many sports as possible. But he has zero interest in anything outside of baseball. He will shoot hoops with buddy's but doesn't want to play basketball, played soccer one season and hated it. He has played baseball with the same group of boys for 6 years and loves it. Is that a bad thing?

[@jordankendall2705]

kenny brouillard not at all, if he really likes baseball he should play it as long as he wants/can. He'll be more likely to be motivated to work in baseball and could lead to him playing in college. Absolutely nothing wrong with having a strong passion for one sport.

[@Onemattressatatime]

College coaches know what a baseball player looks like. They want to see athletes

[@RobKandell]

Should I focus on team handball, or is it OK to curl in the winter? :-)

[@Booger_Johnson]

[@lilgill7348]

Dang I'm quick

[@chucknola484]

You might want to start doing Kegel exercises they will increase your stamina!

[@TRONMAGNUM2099]

When my son isn't playing baseball I have him focusing on running and lifting. 4th grade may sound young but I know if I don't have him hitting bombs now he may never will.

[@gingerface1898]

I know that I don’t know a thing about parenting but I also recommend wrestling for mental toughness, strength, and body coordination. It’s just one of those sports where you’re never too old to join and for athletics that aren’t gifted with Tako Fall height, you’ll only compete against people your own size.

[@lorraineshepett7744]

I needed this my baseball coach wants me to play basketball after my season's over then come back
