I have a cousin that was born in 2002, he now is 9 and he does give me credit to leading him on to the game of basketball.  He used to watch NBA with me when he was literally born just chilling with him watching  hoping to make some cash.  I think TV is really key because it gives them the inspiration and copy professional athletes moves.  Now at the same time we always played pickup ball and taught him some post up moves and crossovers can't forget about that sweet J. He will be interested in something sooner or later and as soon as he is you better have all the tools and sources for him to develop.  
GL hope he is healthy

Oh come on man, it's so obvious, the answer is right under your nose:

COMPETITIVE TACO EATING!

Maybe start sneaking some hot sauce in the ol' formula bottle,  subsituting refried beans for those ridiculous peas and carrots in the baby food jars.  And please don't hold back on the chilies and peppers,,,  it's a tough world out there and it's never too early for a taste of the upcoming pain and suffering that is just around the corner.

Best of luck,  hope to see him someday taking down one of Joey Chestnuts records on ESPN  around 2035

November is no good...the odds of someone being successful is greatly decreased if that individual is not born in January, February, or March. Think about it, individuals that he will be competing with at a young age will always have those 9-10 months of growth and development on him.

If you're attempting to be serious, you couldn't be more off the mark.

If the kid is talented, it does't matter when he was born. 

What being born late in the year means it that the kid will have to fight that much harder to keep up. 

Having that fight is what makes great athletes. 

He will take nothing for granted.

Lebron James... December 30
Tiger Woods... December 30
Jose Bautista... October 19
Derek Rose... October 4

Just a few greats that I checked out.

Have him sleep outside and catch his own food. This will both toughen him up and hone his kill or be killed mentality at a very early age.

In looking at a majority of teams rosters it is found that more players were born in January than any other month and by an overwhelming margin.  The second winning month was February and the third winning month was March.

The reason for this is because of differences in development.  The only reason these players were better than their peers is because they were born earlier in the year and were therefore bigger, faster, stronger and more coordinated than the other babies who were born 6, 8, 9 or even 11 months after them.

Those babies born earlier in the year simply had more time to develop and because of this the coaches and administrators of the league erroneously believed they had more natural talent and so were therefore segregated into better coaching leagues and even elite All-Star teams.

So it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.  It wasn’t that those babies born earlier in the year had any more innate and natural talent.  It was just they had a physical advantage by being a few months older.

These extra months of development make a huge difference early on in life and are only really ever evened out once kids reach the age of 10.

I thought that was interesting also, If I remember correctly the theory revolved around Canadian born hockey stars and how the percentage of players on minor leauge rosters that were born in Jan and Feb was hugely disproportionate to the rest of the year. 

I believe there was an equivalent "phenomenon" with U.S. kids that were born in late summer months as pertaining to entry into Little Leauge (cut off date by age falling some time in late summer or early fall), I actualy think it makes a lot of sense.

Give him a deck of card so he can chew on them. Poker is where the money is.

Thats why your lazy degenerate ass is sitting at home, while millions of individuals are giving the youth the opportunity to succeed and giving a chance for them to live a glorious life.  I'm sure if you wanted to become a pro athlete you would have done things differently and it all starts from the beginning.

Seriously... do really simple things that encourage basic motor/coordination sills like playing catch or even drawing. Don't worry about specific sports or techniques cause that will be taught later in life. Let him crawl/walk/run a lot too. Why do you think so many athletes come from the hood? Their parents didn't "baby" them so they crawled/walked a lot on their own... That and the neighborhood generally won't have much sports equipment so if you're not good/fast, you don't play.
