USC Football Coach Pete Carroll Talks about NCAA Athletes

USC (NCAA) Football Coach Pete Carroll, discusses athletes that participate in more than one sport, for example both football and baseball. ""First question I’ll ask about a kid right here about something. What other sports does he play? What does he do? What are his positions? Is he a big hitter in baseball? Is he a pitcher? You know. Does he play hoops? All of those things are important. I hate that kids don’t play three sports in high school. I think they should play year round and get every bit of that that they can through that experience. I really, really don’t favor kids having to specialize in one sport. They don’t have to to excel. Even here I want to be the biggest performer for two sport athletes on the college level. I want guys that are so special athletically and so competitive that they can compete on more than one sport here at the ASCN. So, you know, I think all of that is part of the makeup of the guy that you’re getting in, so to me it’s really important that guys are well rounded and are just have this tenancy for this competitiveness that they have to express somewhere. So, yeah, I’m all for that and I really take a lot of stock there.""
