[quote=Anonymous]Does your kid run?  Even a little?

Running is the easiest -- and IMHO, best -- sport for a kid to do in high school.  Anyone can do it if they train slowly and properly, it doesn't require massive equipment or parental transportation or involvement, and it's a great balance between team sport and individual sport.  Also lots of opportunity to challenge yourself and focus on resilience, mental toughness and quantifiable self-improvement (goals/better times), regardless of what your teammates or competitors are doing.

Spring track has a a ton of different events to try.  As the weather warms up between now and then, send him out to do some walk/run intervals to get himself a little more in shape.  (2 min walk / 2 min run x 7 times x 3 days a week - adust the run intervals up a minute each week, but keep the walk intervals steady)

Then there's always cross country in the fall.  In our school, it usually fields a brainy bunch, and they have a great time bonding on long training runs together.  [/quote]
