Hmmm…I never really thought about the time put in until you asked the question! My son's sport (baseball - he's 15 - wants to play in college) is very competitive where we live, so the time dedicated is not out of the ordinary.

So here's what I came up with -
Spring (school ball) - Practice/working out - 30 hours/week with games totaling around 20 hours/week.

Fall/Winter (traveling national team) - Commuting/practice/working out - 26 or so hours a week. He also travels to at least 4 out of state tournaments a year, including Puerto Rico.

Summer (VFW team) - Practice/ working out - 20 hours a week with games around 25 hours a week.
