I don't know if it is a gifted thing or not, but DS 4 is plenty athletic and loves swimming and gymnastics, but any attempt at a team sport has been a complete failure. In soccer, he would watch as the other kids ran after the ball, and then cry because he didn't score a goal. These have all been fun, park district classes, with a laid back coach, so it wasn't a bad experience, he just didn't enjoy it.

My attitude is that as long as he is active, and learning about healthy exercise, I'm not going to worry.
