How much is too much?

My cousin has always been playing a bunch of sports. From the time he was 5 he has been involved in some sport most of the year. It started with some martial arts, baseball, basketball, and some soccer. Over time he's faded out of the martial arts and soccer while starting up football. He's in 8th grade right now and currently doing two baseball leagues, football camp and a basketball league. He's a tremendous athlete; ran a 6:40 mile in 5th grade, among top two in league for all sports, will be 3 sport star in high-school. I'm not real worried about him since he somehow keeps up with school and socializes plenty even with his crazy schedule. I just want to know how many of you have gone through this and how quickly you got burned out.

Damn, that's a lot for a kid. It seems like he handles it well though. By the time he gets to college he should probably settle into one sport, but until then it isn't entirely abnormal to play a bunch. It's crazy to be playing 3 at one time though. From what I can tell, I don't think he'll have too much trouble dealing with it.
Reply:Everything has a limit in this world and it is for good, more than a limit is no good for his health. Healthy activity should be played in healthy way because "health is wealth."
