[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is like this and has never outgrown it. He does well in sports but isn't a star because of lack of aggression. Slowly he's gotten a bit better with handling aggression though. Some sports have less contact than others and eventually kids pick a sport or two to focus on and not all his friends will be on the baseball team together.[/quote] Same, same. I think a lot of personality is inborn, and yes, it does come out on the sports field. Mine wound up rowing and running ... great fits. They still require a lot of inner fire, but not in that "gotta get the ball" way. [/quote] +2. What I have seen (as a parent of a now MS and upper ES kids) is that the "sports aggressiveness" you are talking about is largely inborn. (This was a perfectly fine inquiry/question, not sure why so many PPs are worked up.) If your kiddo is having fun playing soccer then of course continue. But there is nothing wrong with playing to one's strengths -- we do it in all sorts of areas of life, so why not sports? Perhaps lean more into to baseball, sign up for tennis lessons, etc...[/quote]
