The introvert/extrovert question is interesting, and I am wondering: might enjoyment of team sports also be linked to processing speed?

My son has a very slow processing speed; making quick decisions and acting on them is not his strong point. His sports tend to be endurance-oriented, e.g. long hikes or skis. I have a high processing speed and love fast-paced sports!

High working memory doesn't help when a ball is flying toward you... but might help you hold all that info and analyze it later...

Can practicing sports help processing speed in other areas... just curious and don't know much about this. Anyone know anything about this?
