[quote=Anonymous]My first grader plays a lot of sports throughout the year....basketball, tennis, baseball and soccer. He has been pretty athletic and coordinated since he was young. Now that the teams are getting more organized and competitive, I have noticed that he is nowhere near as aggressive as other kids. He's never been the kid fighting for control of the ball in his possession or trying to take the ball from the opponent. He's the fastest kid on his baseball team, but slows down when the third baseman is running to the plate to tag him out.

Part of it may have to do with us not watching a lot of sports and showing real world examples of plays. But now I am wondering if this is just the way he is. Do kids get more aggressive as they get older? He has no problem being aggressive at home with us and his sister so its odd to me how passive he is on the field.

And yes these are all sports he wants to play and enjoys playing. He wants to add in flag football but we decided not to. I wonder if playing an aggressive sport would help sharpen that aggressiveness that's beneficial in sports.[/quote]
