A specialist is someone who is an expert in, or devoted to, some specific branch of study or research. This approach is important when it comes a specific career, such as a brain surgeon or a tax attorney. This approach is not so beneficial when it comes to fitness and athletics. A one dimensional basketball player may excel in high school. A one dimensional basketball player will be tested in College or the NBA when he is surrounded by more well rounded players. To reach an elite level of athletisism and fitness you need to be complete and be committed to continually growing in all areas. Continue to develop new skills, if you enjoy running practice Olympic weight lifting, if you enjoy power lifting practice your gymnastics. You will find that one skill improves the other.
This weekend the theory of a specialist vs. a well rounded generalist will be tested.
What is a new skill that you would like to start working on today?
