[quote=Anonymous]I think by age 8 you can tell if a kid is just uncoordinated and not athletically minded. If they cant pick up new skills, are too slow or just dont get it, that shows up early and i dont think changes. So those kids are not going to play high school soccer, basketball, baseball, lacrosse. I think it takes much longer to tell who will excel in high school though. I have a nephew who fell in to the top category in elementary school. His parents put him in martial arts but he couldn't do any team sports at all, he was spacy and weak and uninterested. He is a high school senior and is a top contributor on the cross country team and the rowing team. He's still not super coordinated and doesnt excel in team settings but he got big when he hit puberty and likes the sports that count on aerobic intensity and didnt rely on too much technical skill.[/quote]
