I captioned: sorry, no way in hell I can be a stalin sports mom! loveisstrange on "If your LO played an Olympic sport, what would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-played-an-olympic-sport-what-would-it-be#post-1411015 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 06:59:22 +0000 loveisstrange 1411015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would say gymnastics. She loves to dance, tumble and climb on anything and everything.

Who knows though, DH and I both pretty athletic, so sports like running, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics, trampoline could all be solid potentials. Hockey is just natural given DH coaches university hockey, and has coached some national team players! She may get my horseback riding abilities, but I have zero plans to push her toward that sport (of course right now at 15m she is horse obsessed as she can be!)! If she is sporty we hope no figure skating, skiing, or snowboarding!

I was an competitive figure skater into late highschool and DH played hockey in college so we joke that it'll be ice wars in our house. But honestly, I don't think I'd push my kids toward figure skating since my experience (and possibly it was just my club) was that it promoted a lot of unhealthy behaviour/standards, and I still have pain from a lot of injuries. Maybe speed skating? LO has pretty chunky/muscular thighs.

Thanks. :wink: meganmp on "If your LO played an Olympic sport, what would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-played-an-olympic-sport-what-would-it-be#post-1410910 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 23:22:15 +0000 meganmp 1410910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Is there a "put things into other things" sport? DS can do that. Not like, basketball or anything. More like Monica from "Friends" organizational style.

DH thinks he'll be into skiing - DH loves skiing himself!

I worked with kids with disabilities, many of them TBI and it was heartbreaking. DD1 is all about the water so I'm going to say swimming! She also loves jumping over things so maybe hurdles as well! lovehoneybee on "If your LO played an Olympic sport, what would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-played-an-olympic-sport-what-would-it-be#post-1410891 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 23:01:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 1410891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I dunno, but D would be over the moon thrilled if he was an Olympic skier of some sort (long jump, downhill, Alpine) and would probably be fine with a snowboarder. Really, any Winter Olympic sport that isn't figure skating or ice dancer. It was on when we were at my ILs today and he opted to go outside and shovel their driveway instead of watch it :silly: autumnlove on "If your LO played an Olympic sport, what would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-played-an-olympic-sport-what-would-it-be#post-1410885 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 22:57:39 +0000 autumnlove 1410885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Tennis, gymnastics, curling! lawbee11 on "If your LO played an Olympic sport, what would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-played-an-olympic-sport-what-would-it-be#post-1410882 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 22:56:51 +0000 lawbee11 1410882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't know...too bad hand chewing isn't an Olympic sport.

But she may also be good at horseback riding, since she's got the movement down.

Or maybe diving. At 8 months she hasn't exactly tried it in water yet, but she's always trying to dive off my lap these days. 78h2o on "If your LO played an Olympic sport, what would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-played-an-olympic-sport-what-would-it-be#post-1410855 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 22:40:57 +0000 78h2o 1410855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Maybe swimming?! I swam in college and my LO loves the water. She's only 14 mo, so who knows! :) There are great swimming and figure skating programs in my area that have produced Olympians... I'm a little scared of figure skating (and gymnastics, football, and cheerleading...oh, and skiing...anything where there's potential for falls/collisions)! I guess if my LO really wanted to be a figure skater, I would let her....maybe. Lol! ETA: I probably sound neurotic, but I used to work in a TBI clinic, so I saw all the worst cases!

Still, I looked up ice skating lessons today! I would love for her to be a figure skater!
