I’ve been an athletic all my life. My dad got me into sports when I was 4. I remember my dad would bring my brother and me to the track on the weekends. Since then I got hooked on sports. I also teach gym to preschoolers. One of the things I teach kids is balance and coordination. I use a modified balance board for this.

Throughout my athletic life, I noticed that people who are good at one sport can usually learn another sport very quickly. Olympic athletes have one common denominator, balance and coordination. If you can have good balance, learning sports becomes so much easier. Another thing I learned is that balance and coordination can be taught. The best time to teach this is during the preschool years. That is why I use the balance board.
