Increasing numbers of children are choosing to specialize in a single sport, which is associated with increased risk of injury. Along with the trend towards increased specialization, high school athletes are increasingly being encouraged to join club sport teams outside of school in order to train year-round in their chosen sport. Despite the known injury risks related to early specialization, potential consequences of specialization related to other aspects of well-being are unknown. Additionally, knowledge and attitudes of youth sport coaches towards specialization and differences in emergency preparedness between club and high school sport coaches have not been examined. The primary purposes were to 1) examine the association of sport specialization with daytime sleepiness, 2) evaluate the knowledge of youth sport coaches towards current volume recommendations, 3) examine attitudes and beliefs of youth sport coaches towards sport specialization, 4) determine if differences in emergency preparedness exist between coaches of high school teams and coaches of high-school aged club teams, and 5) to compare emergency training characteristics between coaches of high school and club coaches. Study 1: 647 youth club sport athletes (63.5% female; 14.0±1.5 years) were recruited to complete a self-administered and anonymous questionnaire that consisted of demographics, sport specialization status, and daytime sleepiness. Highly specialized athletes had significantly higher PDSS scores compared to low specialization athletes. Study 2: A total of 253 youth sport coaches (207 males) completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding knowledge of sport volume recommendations and attitudes and beliefs regarding sport specialization. Most coaches were unaware of recommendations regarding the maximum number of months per year, hours per week in one sport, or number of simultaneous leagues for an athlete to participate in to reduce injury. Study 3: A total of 769 coaches (female N=266, 34.6%) completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding their emergency preparedness and training. High school coaches were more likely than club coaches to be required to have CPR, AED, and first aid training. High school coaches were also more likely than club coaches to be aware of emergency action plans during practices and competitions and to have an AED available at their practice venue.
