[quote=Anonymous]This is kind of a sad thread, anyone who thinks they can peg their kid as an athlete or non-athlete in kindergarten will be a terrible terrible parent. As others have said, kids develop at different levels. Often times at young ages, the best kids are the biggest but they rarely stay the biggest. My kids are now older (14 and 16) and very few of the standout kids at young ages remain solid players today. Rather it was kids who were pretty good and engaged at a young age, and then who worked harder than everyone else. You need some base to begin with but then it is most frequently hard work. But as the college scholarship thread demonstrated, even all the hard work in the world may not lead to a scholarship so it is often the kids who enjoy their sports, rather than being pushed by an adult, who excel later.
