Nope!!! At least not in our house
That's not to say that none of us is good at anything related to sports, but we don't have any particular natural talent. DS came in 136th out of 136 in the city-wide swimming championship last year, even though he was at the top of the age group and had been swimming for years, works hard at it, etc. On the other hand, he's a pretty good tap dancer and rock climber, and ~really~ good at putt putt golf. We're going to try tennis next... He has much better hand-eye coordination than I do. (I can't play tennis to save my life...)
That's not to say DS's talents are restricted to academic fields... actually he's freaky-good at video games (marketable skill, that! LOL) but sports isn't really his area. He had mild gross motor delays as a baby and didn't walk until very late, so I can't say I'm surprised that he doesn't really shine in the gross motor kinds of areas! Also, he's on the very-small side, so anything that requires brute force is probably not going to be his forte. Strategy, coordination, rhythm, motor planning and control he can do pretty darn well, but not sheer strength or speed.
