[quote=Anonymous]I second the recommendation for a summer swim team. I was not an athletic kid, at least not in the traditional sense. I lacked the hand eye coordination, confidence, and aggression needed for the team/ball sports. But I enjoyed playing in the pool. I tried summer swim team at 8 and it turned out I was really good. I swam for 13 years including college. I discovered in college that I also enjoy weightlifting and agility/HIIT type exercises, and still do these things now. It's funny to think back on how I hated PE as a kid and didn't think of myself as an athlete. I am now quite fit in middle age and regularly show up the former team sport "jocks" at the gym. Had I not tried swimming, I might have gone my whole life just thinking I'm just not athletic. I like to think there's a fitness activity out there for everyone, whether they discover it as a kid or later in life. Don't force a team sport if it's not your daughter's personality. [/quote]
