[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on processing speed. It is really common for gifted kids to have lower PSI scores, and I think that makes most team sports hard. [/quote] This describes my child. Very bright but lower processing speed. Has trouble making quick decisions in a sports setting. We're still trying to figure out an activity that would appeal and be a chance at success.[/quote] 8:23 PP. My DS has done very well with rock climbing, parkour, and swimming. All of them are very technical without requiring quick thinking. I think rock climbing is especially great for very intelligent, but slower processing kids, since there is quite a bit of thinking involved, but it tends to be a slow, methodical sport. Martial arts might be okay, if you can find a style that focuses more on kata/forms and less on sparring. Dance or gymnastics might also be decent choices. [/quote]
