Does early sport specialization correlate with future success in female volleyball?

This poster was presented at the Douglas College Student Research Week 2021 (May 3-7, 2021). Smith et al. (2020) found that athletes who specialize in both sport and position do so to have the highest chance of playing at the collegiate level. However, Latorre-Roman et al. (2018) concluded that specializing early in a single sport should be questioned when the peak performance is at the senior level. This study aims to research the correlation between the future success of young adult female volleyball players and sport specialization in their youth.
