[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Always picked last or close to last. I was small. Also most of the other kids were enrolled in little league and other youth sports and my parents did do any of that. So I lacked athletic skills but primarily because I had little opportunity to develop them. I'm now very active and athletic. There was no reason I couldn't have been athletic as a kid. But I got labeled as weak and slow and that just became who I was. This is why "picking teams" is a bad idea. It just re-enforces what the kids already believe about themselves and others. If they want to do that on their own, fine, but teachers and coaches who suggest it are just being lazy.[/quote]
