[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say tennis if she's self-conscious about others watching her mess up. Tennis is very individual and when you're on the court, you're on display. Even in a group class, all eyes are on the person who's hitting the ball. At least that's what my self-conscious daughter tells me. Also, tennis players can be a pretty competitive bunch and the sport requires a ton of coordination, repetition, and fine tuning of movements. There's a lot of standing around and waiting for others in beginner group classes, and private lessons can be intense with lots of focus on technique and running drills over and over to get something perfect. All not great for an unathletic kid who needs to get some energy out. Running is just as individual but the races take place in a group so no one is in the spotlight. My tennis player runs track also and she really likes the community of kids she's met. [/quote]
