[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. My kids are young adults and the world has changed since we were young. Many of the exceptional athletes are also outstanding students. [/quote] Pro athletes are not typically outstanding students in the routine classroom settings. They have types of intelligence that non-athletes don’t have. Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence refers to mind and body co-ordination. AIQ, athletic intelligence quotient that includes visual spatial processing, long-term storage and retrieval, reaction time and processing speed. This would include other areas like ballet. The visual spatial processing seems to be one of the hardest skills. My daughter, a ballet dancer, is constantly complaining about having to dance with dancers who have poor skills in these areas. Athletes are given more respect than they were 30 years ago. They get the academic support they need instead of just pushing them through. [/quote]
