Parental Imprinting Time!
Time to sway my daughter into doing exactly what I want her to do.  That means soccer class.  That means browbeating her if she acts disinterested.  That means buying her soccer-theme imprinted goods.

Nah, soccer class means time to see if she has any interest or aptitude in it.  Ballet was good, but she didn't seem terribly interested.  Maybe soccer's her activity.  Early results are not promising.  She will run an entirely adequate top speed for a maximum of 3 seconds.  After that, it's staring off into the near distance and running at a jogging pace in a large circle, even if she's nowhere near the action.
