I played sports through college, and she could probably get a partial scholarship somewhere if she specialized in a sport such as lacrosse (that was my sport in college).Also, sports are good to play for health reasons and to learn sportsmanship.

I think my nine-year-old daughter would be really good in sports if she tried. She's very tall for her age (doesn't get that from me) and I see she has good eye-hand skills and a lot of strength.

So should I just let it be, or perhaps push the issue a little, tiny bit?

• it's sweet that your concerned enough to ask the world about it...
• I personally think you should push it.
• If not because she would get a scholarship - atleast for her own self.
• For a better, healther lifestyle.
• Our generation today will hardly live over50 - 60 with our lifestyles and habits...
• so any form of exsercise will only benift her..
• make sure you dont push her too much though.
• there's a thin line in wanting a good future for her and wanting her to live ur dreams.
• dont think too much about her making sports her ambitions and career - let her pick that for herself at a later stage..
• and support her with whatever she decieds..
• but definatly try and get her into sports as a hobby...
• it's a great thing to do in one's spare time.
• and when she excells in it - she'll feel so proud of herself!
• and thank you too..
• :)
• p.s.
• make sure ur not too hard on her..
• play with her mind..
• be a friend, not a father.
• • you could find something out of school like horse back riding or gymnastics or ice skating or swimming or karate or dance or tennis or golf, that she can't get at school.
  • perhaps she's just awkward at school or doesn't like the sports they offer.
  • i do think it's good to get her into something active.
  • you don't want her to be one of those gawky women who can't defend themselves and have nothing but flab on their bodies.
  • bodies remember activity, and you have to be active at an early age to have a good chance of remaining fit when you're an adult.
  • ask your wife if she wants her daughter to be fat, uncoordinated and lonely.

i think it is ok to push her a little bit, but let her pick the sport she likes so that she has better chance of staying in it sports illustrated swimsuit models. it will also help her with socialization and working with others.

Yeah, definately. she will have a lot of fun. there are a lot of good things about joining sports.-Socializing and making good friends.-Colleges look for kids who played sports especially their high school year-and she will get enough exercise and it will help keep her out of stuff she shouldnt do.:)If she has friends who are doing sports use that as a positive side. yeah definately! Have her at least try because when she's older she might regret not doing a sport when she was younger. sports is good and healthy especiallly for someone her age. Don't let them say things like "i'm not interested in it" tell them why sports is good. You should encourage it! I mean what does she plan to be when she grows up? Also she might not realize it now, right now she may dislike sports, but later on she might learn to enjoy it! The skills you learn playing sports is good. But don't force it upon her. Just talk about all the positives, opportunities for scholarships, friends, skills, agilitiy, etc. push it! Starting now is good because it'll get her physically in shape, make more friends, and she'll learn a lot!

you should introduce them in a really fun way. take her to the pool and play games with her as she develops her swimming skills. take her to see a sporting event - just the two of you - of her choice sports illustrated swimsuit models. help her develop a love - if you "push" she'll push back harder.scholarships aside, sports build self-confidence. have fun! all the best! sports illustrated swimsuit models sports illustrated swimsuit models. try different things until she finds something she likes. don't be surprised if her genius lies elsewhere, though. invite her out to spend time with you playing tennis, basketball, catch, swimming etc ...

Weston-Warner said:
yeah let her try a sport,see if she likes it or not .!

• Just let it be.
• I'm sure she's had enough exposure to sports in her physed classes.
• Let her find her own way and she'll be much happier.

ahhh! I'm a teenager!and i hate when my parents push me to do something...for example my dad pushed me into doing karate just because my cousin does it too! I don't like it because they are always comparing us! That would be like u pushing ur daughter to do lacrosse.And the human mind is always going to compare :D U should talk to her about it but don't push her, give her options such as different sports! and if its for health reasons she could do dance if she would like! :D GOod Luck!at 9 years old, your daughter knows what she is interested in. i would ask her if she's interested in any sports and go from there. don't push her because she'll just resent it. maybe if you offered to coach her team. my daughter has been in ballet and tap for 4 years and is still going strong. she's very girly, but she loves baseball and basketball too.

Garfield-Brandenburg said:
i would say yes, because i bribed my reluctant daughter to play soccer and once she did, she loved it. however, in your case, this entire scenario seems to focus on YOU. is this about you or your daughter? do what's best for her, not because of what you have done in your youth.

Edwin-Tennant said:
I would, but ask around first. There are some towns, areas, that are already super-competetive already at that age, travelling teams and so on. Dont set her up in anything like that, where the chances of success might not very good.Also even look into things like running programs, or Park and Rec events. My friend whos a elementary teacher, trains a group of kids her age to get involved in a 5k fun fun.

Hui-Batten said:
Maybe not a lot of pushing but have her sign up for a sport she could like. But don't be too disappointed if she doesn't want to be an athlete; there are so many amazing things she could do. But if it's that important to you, see how she likes one or two sports

Levi-Guest said:
As a girl who absolutely hated sports when I was younger, I would advise you to definitely not force it on your daughter. You can see if her friends are involved in any activities that she might share a talent for (the social aspect might keep her going), or just ask her if there's anything she'd like to try (if my parents had just come out and offered I wouldn't have minded trying something like lacrosse). If nothing else, try a family gym membership to keep her active even if she isn't participating in sports.

tell her if she isn't going to play sports she has to do something to stay fit

Ossie-Jackson said:

• i suggest you should.
• Sports can help in many ways.
• they are fun, competative, leadership, courage, etc.
• but dont pick the sport she sould play.
• Give her other options of sports: volleyball, tennis, waterpolo, track, basketball, wrestling, swimming, etc.
• when she gets older, shed be able to focus on school adn sports, and not other non extracurricular activities.

don't push. if she inherited any of your competitve, physical genes,....she'll find it on her own in her own time.just pay attention to her.of course, you'd be wise to also begin saving money for her college fund. even a partial scholarship doesn't go far,.....unless she's majoring in telephone book delivery at the local juco.

Chanelle-Poorbaugh said:
If she hates it i wouldn't push very much at all but if she likes it you can get her signed up. First try playing sports with her.

Delbert-Mcmullen said:
yes. there are alot of sports, i'm sure there is one out there she will like sports illustrated swimsuit models.

Buddy-Straub said:
Maybe she's not interested in team sports. Would she be more interested in more solo activities, like swimming, gymnastics, horseback riding? My kids and I all tend more toward these. Not everyone is interested in, or even comfortable with team sports. There are lots of ways for kids to learn sportsmanship, especially by playing games and watching how their parents behave. Being on a team doesn't necessarily teach good sportsmanship - especially if the coach, teammates and/or other teams aren't good about it.

If you push that will just make her resist sports illustrated swimsuit models sports illustrated swimsuit models. You might see if she would like to sign up for a volleyball camp or other thing that will immerse her in a sport. If she is not interested then back off.

i think you should have someone that really inspires her to talk to her and try to convince her, its always great to stay active to live a longer and healthier life.
