[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jack of all trades, master of none -- that's ok.  Not giving up and a strong work ethic will get him further in life.

That said.  I get it.  My DS is unathletic, too.  Last to be picked in pickup basketball, kids don't want to pass the ball to him.  I told DS  he needs to practice more if he wants to get better.  He's gotten a bit better, but still not at the other kids' league.  But the fact that he practiced almost everyday outside is going to help him out more in the long run and is what makes me more proud.[/quote]

+1 To be great at anything you have to practice. A lot. Ask any serious musician how much they practiced when they were young. Ask any competitive swimmer, gymnast or athlete how much they trained. The answer is almost every day. My nephew is in a serious soccer league and practices with his father outside of team practice. I used to be a serious pianist and did competitions and practiced every day. Some kids have the innate discipline to do it on their own, some need a tiger parent riding their ass, and most kids are somewhere in between.[/quote]
