[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Birth month counts for a LOT. Birth month and athletic success have been [b]studied extensively [/b]and it has been shown that the older the player in the pool, the more successful he is. Small differences at first are magnified later, as more attention is given to the best early players. So your child might end up being the exception, but know that the data is stacked against her. [/quote] As in Malcolm Gladwell wrote a pop statistics book about it? [/quote] Highly recommended book: David Epstein's The Sports Gene. I can't recall whether it specifically addresses birth month, but it has a lot of info on predicting athletic success. (One thing that sticks in my head: Want to play in the NBA? Have long arms.)[/quote]
