5. As an ex-jock...
who played competitive sports from 4th through 12th grade (the last 4 years was 3 seasons each year), I pay for it every day. One bummed knee, two ankles with virtually no elasticity, chronic bursitis in the serving/pitching arm. Although sports was an escape for me for good reason, I wish that the one responsible parent I had had been wise enough to limit me to no concurrent seasons (there was little to no rest in between).

BTW, during PT which followed neck surgery (not sports-related) the therapist told me that they were packed full of middle and high school students every day after school and on Saturdays, almost every one of them w/sports injuries.
