What can't you do/have trouble with (read before posting)

when i say this what i mean is things to do with COORDINATION and HAND EYE COORDINATION, nothing to do with social skills and things like that

I actually have great hand/eye coordination, more accurately, motor skills, putting things together. I am, however, very clumsy. I will randomly drop something I am holding, and I randomly bump into things. Sports though, I suck at. No coordination in sports.

My 20 year old son always had trouble with sports -- baseball, volleyball, football, etc. After years of practice, even though he wasn't good when he began at age 8, by the age of 13 he developed real skill with soccer, and was quite good at snowboarding. Go figure!

My 10 year old son has been much the same -- not good at any sports -- but, he is great at DDR! He's actually quite graceful as far as dancing goes. I actually think that he could be fairly good at sports, but he doesn't have the desire or the self-confidence required.

People say I can be pretty clumsy in general. It's not uncommon that I will drop something I'll be holding, but thankfully it's usually something small. One thing I've noticed about my coordination that I haven't seen or heard before is that it seems to be much better on some days than others. On one day, I'll totally miss every shot in a ping-pong game, for example, while other times I can slam and spin the ball with ease. Perhaps it has to do with sleep or distractions?

I'm horrible with Gym, and I trip a lot.

I'm rather clumsy at throwing things. I also walk kind of crooked. It also took me 2 years to learn how to ride a bike, 6 months to learn how to tie my shoes, and I couldn't wear pants with buttons for a long time because I couldn't undo them.

I can't walk in a straight line which can be problematic. I trip over a lot and walk into things/people all the time.

I have decent coordination except when flying objects are involved. This is why I tend to stick to sports and activities that do not have balls/discs/pucks required to play.

I have a tendency to run into doorways and, when turning a corner, I have a tendency to run into walls. I also trip over very small things, like pebbles 'cause of the way I move my feet. And throwing--can't throw anything to save my life. Everything is either way off target or too short.

I have lousy peripheral vision in my left eye, so I'm usually bumping into things on my left.

i'm not talking about things to do with vision

I'm bloody aweful at sports, and I tend to drop things randomly. It's really irritating because I drop my pencil in school at least 10 times a day, and I think people are starting to notice.

My handwriting is horribly pathetic.
I can't play team sports, but I'm good at bowling, tenis, etc.
I'm good at drawing and beading too.
I run into walls and drop things a ton though.

My handwriting is that of a 3 year old and I'm 14 years old and I still can't tie my shoes.
