Truly Gifted
Athlete
The makers
of this Web Quest consulted with Purdue University Shared Information Services
found that there is no definitive list of the characteristics of
a gifted athlete. We decided to take this one step further and brainstorm
with our Gifted and Talented class to make our own list of the characteristics
of a gifted athlete. We then consulted with coaches, athletes, and parents
of athletes to receive their input. This is the list of important traits.
Physically fit
Balance/Agility
Hand-eye coordination
Natural Ability
Competitive
Instincts
Aggressive
Discipline
Desire
Highly
Skilled
Other Important Traits
Keeps Composure
Pride
Coachable
"Should Be" A Good Role Model
Wanting to Improve
Dedication
Good Sportsmanship
Intelligence
Leadership
Willing
to give 110%
Some characteristics
that we have listed are quite debatable. You might feel that some do not
have anything to do with being a gifted athlete. However, we feel that
everything listed is essential to being considered gifted. We'd like
your opinion. Tell us what you think! E-mail SARAH,
