I do believe that people are born with natural athletic ability. It can be seen at an early age before the child is enrolled in organized sport teams. Children who posses the ability seem to have good balance, good coordination and show extreme confidence in participating in various activities. One thing that I notice is these children are good climbers. Climbing trees, up the stairs, on the jungle gyms or the steps in the playground. They may learn to walk earlier than most children but this is not always an indicator of being a good athlete.
In group play such as tag, catch or monkey in the middle, these children will stand out by being quicker and faster and able to catch a ball and throw with ease. They are quick and agile and full of enthusiasm. They will learn quickly and the more they play, the better they get at a quicker pace than other children.
The age at which athletic ability is noticed by parents and coaches can be be very early. Perhaps as early as 2 or 3 and continues to develop during childhood.
