Some interesting facts (thanks to high school track program):

Thoughts for football players....

The chart below shows the percentage of College football players that played other sports in high school. 

 

Thoughts for soccer players....Research shows that "straight sprinting is the most frequent action in goal scoring situations"  remember that track athletes are the best at this skill. (Google for the research)

 

Thoughts for basketball players....Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash have made many statements about the importance of participating and competing in other sports besides basketball to make you a better basketball player.

Track is a good cross or multi sport program for all types of athletes!
