[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, 
My 8 year old daughter is a total delight. Loves to read, loves to practice her piano, super funny and engaging kid. She is, however, extremely un-athletic. As a result, she tends to not like any of the sports or physical activities I try to enroll her in, because she struggles to keep up. I would really love to find her a sport or physical activity that she enjoys, because I think it's really important to her health and to becoming a well-rounded person (I was also bookish like her, and it took me until my 30s to realize that I enjoy certain types of exercise).

She does like things like bike riding and swimming, just for fun. But I think it'd be good to get her into something with a little more structure than that. So far we've tried dance, gymnastics, soccer, and softball. None of it has really stuck.

Any recommendations for other things to try? I was thinking maybe golf? Or should I just care less about this? I admit it's kind of a personal sore spot for me, so it's possible that I'm projecting.

Thanks![/quote]
