[quote=Anonymous]My son has so many interests that he does many activities outside of school every single week. He does not do well in every activities which are fine to him & me as long as he has fun and gets some social interaction aspects with other boys. Unfortunately all activities I am talking about are considered sports, and he does 3-5 different ones every single week. His endurance is low, and his low muscle tone is not helpful. He is easily tired and exhausted. We thought that all types of sports should have helped him a bit to build up his endurance over the last few years, but it seems it has not been that helpful. What do we miss? The sports he has been doing for the year are either seasonal or year around, and they are soccer, basketball, rock climbing, outdoor boy meet club, and he just drops swimming. Almost all activities squeeze together and meet mostly on weekends, except the weekday soccer & basketball practice.

He tells me that he wants to add to give top golf and fencing a try because it sounds fun (friends are there), I hesitate if he can put up with all these things due to his low endurance. As I say, he loves and enjoys all these activities for fun/recreational and I need to support him. I just need help to build up his endurance to keep up his energy level to keep him going or else it would be sad that he is forced to make choices one day to give some up because his body cannot handle them anymore. Any advice? [/quote]
