I can't tell you how much sports has helped my extremely shy daughter come out of her shell. Each new skill in soccer or gymnastics that she learns is a victory that fills her with pride and excitement and gives her more courage. As a 6 year old she was incapable of looking in to an adults eyes, constantly shying away and hiding. Now at 8 she has so much more confidence and I attribute that mostly to her sports activities.
