High Performance Sport NZ (HSPNZ) has endorsed the `Keep Up With The Play` public awareness campaign being run by five major sports in partnership with Sport NZ. The campaign raises awareness of the negative adult behaviours that result in young people dropping out of sport. Those influences include too strong an emphasis on winning at youth level (over fun and development), early specialisation and a belief that youth success leads to adult success. New research shows most NZ pre-HP athletes play multiple sports "Specialising later is not going to reduce New Zealand`s chances of winning on the world stage"
