Its very easy to be both athletic and a geek. Dad needs to step up to the plate.
be careful with this. some kids are just not into it or cut out for it. if the child is pushed into athletics and can't perform and/or just doesn't enjoy it there may be bigger probs down the road. you don't want the child to feel like he's letting dad down because he just isn't the little slugger pops always dreamed about. bad news.

Our issue is DH gets into battle w/DS with sports. DH really could help him, as he is talented in this area, but DH needs help with approach. DH is just too critical and hasn't yet learned another way. They do well skiing together but not so good with baseball, basketball and soccer.
