[quote=Anonymous]As an elementary school kid, our DD was fast, coordinated, climbing on everything, doing cartwheels and tricks on the monkey bars. I am sure I didn't list everything that made us proud of her athletic abilities. After she hit puberty she slowed down. It didn't help that COVID hit right around that transition, so we couldn't place her in any rec sports. Now she loves her team sport (that she discovered after COVID), but she is not the same. She is less coordinated and her reaction time is delayed. She is doing ok during practice, but we can see the difference between her and the kids who are really "hungry" to learn and better themselves. She rarely trains outside the official team practices, so I have little hope that she might excel later on. We still encourage her to continue (even though she might never be a standout) because of the benefits of playing sports. [/quote]
