We are talking about the athlete par excellence, Numero Uno in many sports!  No Brain Type is better designed, cerebrally and in the use of hand eye coordination, for athletics than the BEIR.  BEIRs are often not the top sport Type or athlete when young.  Unless they are coached properly from an early age, awkwardness, uncertainty, and recklessness can characterize their performance in the formative years.  When you coach young BEIRs, your words often go unheard.  BEIRs preoccupy their thoughts, calculating or picturing something in their minds rather than translating instructions into meaning.  They learn best by doing, loving to get dirty, and performing some daredevilry in the process.  Do not expect them to answer your questions in a lengthy, articulate fashion as would an FCIL or FCIR.  BEIRs are laconic and generally answer in an inaudible mumble.  They do their talking by performing boldly on the field (unless they’ve been pampered).  Once the BEIR gets the “hang of it,” he or she has the beginnings of a great athlete.  Practice no longer becomes practice; it becomes necessary and fun.  In fact, BEIRs can end up practicing longer and harder than perhaps any other Brain Type.  Hours can seem like minutes when the BEIR gets involved in the practice of their sport.  All Brain Types have phenomenal abilities to concentrate; their areas of interest differ, however.  The BEIR excels in sports concentration.  The greatest assistance parents and coaches can provide young BEIRs is mental and emotional.  A calming influence in their lives will yield tremendous dividends.  Teach sportsmanship to your BEIRs, as opposed to winning at all costs.
