Best sport for a child to learn confidence?

I’d have to go w martial arts? I like Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, boxing or Karate. There are some similarities between each sport that require similar equipment. I think it’s a great choice, teaches discipline. Yes it involves fighting, but it’s more than that, it’s about discipline. It’s about knowing you don’t need to fight unless you really have to. Builds strength, cardio, friendships. I e taken Muay Thai, my son took that as well as Jiu-Jitsu.

When I was younger I did track and field. It really boosted my confidence. My team always cheered me on during my races and I was really just racing against my past self

Swimming might be a good sport but it has its risks. I say swimming since it is not a contact sport where you are touching or interacting with other players so if the child is somebody people like to bully, the chances of bullying are lower. But swimming could lead to drowning and maybe even intentional drowning in severe and very rare cases.

any sport teaches that when you have the right coaches

Tennis is an excellent sport for building a child's confidence. It teaches discipline, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking. As they progress, they'll develop self-assurance through individual achievements and teamwork in doubles. The sport's emphasis on goal-setting and personal improvement helps instill a strong sense of self-belief and resilience. Tennis fosters social skills through interactions with coaches and peers, creating a supportive environment for growth. 🌟🎾

Rugby. There's a place on the team for different abilities. If you play tag-rugby then you can mix boys and girls together.

Being from the US, would football be similar?

[purplepoppy]

I don't know anything about American football but here kids are often pushed into rugby as much for the social side as the sporting one

All of them, depends on how good they are and what the coach is like

Martial arts. Hands down.

[BrandiC]

Would he need any special gear for that?

[dustybiker2]

A uniform is included in the sign up fees. A lot of studios with provide the rest.

[dustybiker2]

I personally recommend Taekwondo. But I do enjoy all forms.

[BrandiC]

Great! Thank you.

[dustybiker2]

You are welcome. The first three weeks adjustment is tough for everyone. Encourage him to stick to it and he'll be great.

Swimming. Learns to depend on one’s self

So one day he can't wash his dick and the next day you want him to join the All-Star team?

[BrandiC]

What is your problem? I'm just looking for advise. Is that not what this site is for?

[In_Trance]

I think if he learns to wash his horn that will build some confidence.
