I can completely relate to that. Every time I get forced to play soccer or football or whatever I would get more anxious than ever!!

I walk into things 
I try not to limp cos I find it intensely annoying when others do it.
I have had bad experiences both catching and throwing balls due to misjudgement or speed or direction I think. I have thrown rounders balls directly at the floor and at right angles to the intended direction.
I didn't understand RPS until recently, didn't know how many different items there were and why some were better than others!
My only skateboard attempt ending in me scraping my palm across a brick wall. It hurt. And quite a while I think to learn to ride a bike without stabilisers.
It took me ages to tie shoelaces even on this clown doll I had that I practised on. use a hoolahoop?
I have never been able to hulahoop for long though I tried cos I became obsessed with the girl from Alegria (Cirque du Soleil) who spun about 20 around her waist at once and spun them on her arms and legs etc at he same time. I wanted to be like her. I never was

I'm quite clumsy with moi hands.
I learned to ride a bicycle, stricly in a straight line, which is not very practical in terms of transportation. I freak my father when learning to drive a car, which eventually I gave up learning. Public transportation is great where I live.
At school, when I conduct experiments, I break things major time. Many glass made instruments are not likely to survive my treatment. |

I'm definitely clumsy, and lack fine motor skills. I can do most things okay; but nothing well if it requires fast-twitch reflexes or precision.
I can't draw for sh**. |

I have very good fine motor skills, but not full-body motor skills. I've always looked extremely awkward dancing, no matter how much I practiced. And yes, I totally suck at sports, and am clumsy but I think that has more to do with visual distractions. Some random pattern often catches my eye and I stare at it for longer than I should, and get distracted.
^ I'm quite the opposite. People said I'm talented at art, and I have very neat handwriting. Plus, I play the piano. |

Err. I still can't tie my shoelaces.   Rather embarrassing thing about me that I've learned to hide well enough in daily life, heheh. My hand-eye coordination is shot, I fail at just about every sport. Unless you count power walking as a sport?  I'm no good at riding bikes except the stationary exercise bikes, haha. Hula hoops; don't even go there. I trip a lot and walk into things, but I don't have a serious limp- my right foot sometimes, well, I don't exactly know how to describe the feeling, it just bends in an awkward way when I'm walking too slow sometimes. My fine motor skills, however, are fine- they get a lot of use from drawing.

Hula hoops, lol. I don't want to go there either, they are extremely difficult for me. Yet they are meant for the little ones.

For some reason my hand writing is dire, but I'm good at drawing with little piddly details, it's like my fine motor skills just contradict eachother.

My handwriting is poor, I can't catch a ball to save my life and my depth perception isn't great either. I also tend to randomly lose my balance and either stumble over or fall outright, it happened while playing a Wii with my brother last Christmas, I just ended up on the floor! Not to mention falling face first between a girl's legs on a school bus, one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I hated playing sports in school because I was always rubbish at them.
However I can ride a bike and quite enjoy doing it actually. |

| I'm awful at judging distances, I bump into stuff and trip over my own feet on a regular basis, it took me a long time to tie my shoes, swim, and ride a bike, I can't catch or throw a ball or play sports of any kind, I'm a hopelessly awkward dancer, I have weird way of walking, and I'm just a generally graceless person. But I didn't have any trouble learning to walk (I didn't crawl first, though) and my handwriting is fine. |

| I am good at sport in general but precise movements like typing, writing and not knocking objects over require a lot of concentration and need to be done slowly. |
