[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her attributes are many in my biased opinion :) but not so much in the athletic realm. She is small and light for her age, pretty slender, she does have long arms and legs (proportionally, she's probably around the 20th percentile height wise for her age). I had wondered about track or cross country because I think she is reasonably fast but she just doesn't enjoy running. I think there are ways she likes the spirit of a team but she finds it stressful too. I can see her in more solitary sports in a way. I'd hoped rock climbing would be a hit but I think she just doesn't love it, though doesn't hate it either.[/quote]

If she's small, but likes team sports what about being a coxswain in rowing? The DMV one of the few areas where rowing/crew is a sport that is available to HS kids.[/quote]

Former coxswain here: if the point is to be athletic, this is not it. My fellow coxswains would get so frustrated that they never got a workout.

I didn't want to be moving all that much (but loved using my mind...and my voice), so I was happy as a clam. I would love my retirement career to be coaching one of the local hs teams.[/quote]
