What you can do: Practice with your child at home. Whether it's shooting baskets, playing catch, or going for a jog together, you'll give your child an opportunity to build skills and fitness in a safe environment.
Your child can try — and, possibly, fail — new things without the self-consciousness of being around peers. And you're also getting a good dose of quality together time. A kid who's already a reluctant athlete might feel extra-nervous when the coach barks out orders or the league focuses heavily on winning.
What you can do: Investigate sports programs before signing your child up for one. Talk with coaches and other parents about the philosophy. Some athletic associations, like the YMCA, have noncompetitive leagues. In some programs, they don't even keep score. As kids get older, they can handle more competitive aspects such as keeping score and keeping track of wins and losses for the season.
Some kids may be motivated by competitive play, but most aren't ready for the increased pressure until they're 11 or 12 years old. Remember that even in more competitive leagues, the atmosphere should remain positive and supportive for all the participants.
Kids who aren't natural athletes or are a little shy might be uncomfortable with the pressure of being on a team. More self-conscious kids also might worry about letting their parents, coaches, or teammates down. This is especially true if a child is still working on basic skills and if the league is very competitive. What you can do: Keep your expectations realistic — most kids don't become Olympic medalists or get sports scholarships.
Let your child know the goal is to be fit and have fun. If the coach or league doesn't agree, it's probably time to look for something new.
Some kids haven't found the right sport. Maybe a child who doesn't have the hand-eye coordination for baseball has the drive and the build to be a swimmer, a runner, or a cyclist. The idea of an individual sport also can be more appealing to some kids who like to go it alone. What you can do: Be open to your child's interests in other sports or activities. That can be tough if, for instance, you just loved basketball and wanted to continue the legacy.
But by exploring other options, you give your child a chance to get invested in something he or she truly enjoys. Boundless A. This album makes me cry with happiness. This album is enough to give me the strength I need to carry on in the world and not be afraid of the pressure it exerts on us to not fail.

But once we knew that there was confirmation that we were flying back home to Rarotonga obviously the excitment started again. Alex Beddoes spent the Auckland lockdown staying with his grandmother and said having family support was a huge help during such an uncertain period. Then it was just a matter of waiting to see when we could go back home.
The two-time Olympian was also caught up in Tamaki Makaurau's first lockdown last year and said with little else to do apart from sit around he opted to pound the pavements of East Tamaki. Two repatriation flights from Christchurch and Auckland finally went ahead in October, followed by another two weeks in quarantine upon arrival in Rarotonga. The group was allowed to leave the Edgewater Resort a few hours early on Wednesday last week and Beddoes, who first departed Rarotonga on 19 July, said it was a relief to be finally be home.
