It all starts with Bryan. I met him when I was 16 years old. If somebody asked me to describe Bryan with only 2 words that best describes him, it would be "naturally athletic." He is good at everything with really little trying. Of course you know that he was an all-star soccer player but that is really just a tiny fraction of his talent. He is a very fast runner (and can "spur of the moment" run a half-marathon or any kind of race for that matter), a killer tennis player, he is an excellent swimmer and diver, and probably could do all sports well if he tried. He is not afraid to try any sport or feat.
Really, he doesn't practice any of this. He was just born that way. Isn't that an annoying quality??
He has always wondered if his children would be this way too. So far, Jillian has the competitive edge that he has. She always wants to win and will listen to Bryan's coaching to learn the skill he is trying to teach her. She is also quite fearless and will try anything her Daddy suggests.
Now Rocco is a different story. Rocco does not listen but wants to just jump in and try it. He will try again and again. He can be very stubborn and persistent to get what he wants. He will do something over and over and over again until he gets the feel of it and gets it right.
At the age of 3 and 3 quarters, Rocco very easily taught himself to ride a bike. Isn't that amazing??
NO FEAR. ALL SMILES.
Naturally Athletic.
I think he is totally amazing!
