[quote=Anonymous]After puberty, for most sports. Anything before that is truly impossible to predict IMHO. I would also say (I have 3 teens who have played a lot of sports): the most successful athletes are the ones with athletic parents! Which does not apply to my kids, lol. But a disproportionate number of the best athletes at high school age seem to have very athletic parents (ones who played sports at the college level or even beyond). Some of these kids always seemed athletic- since childhood. Others not so much- often because they were taller and/or generally larger than the other kids and didn’t seem to grow into their bodies until later on. Oh- and lot have not just one athletic parent but two (like attracts like, I suppose). This is the main factor I have seen overall. Parents/genes. [/quote]
