Why are middle class kids always so sporty, outdoorsy & confident?

Both from state & private schools. Just an observation. But why?

@JaninaDuszejko unfortunately that pretty much describes many children in extremely deprived areas. There are plenty of primary school children who have never read books or been places. I'm a governor at a secondary school and the head said last year that record numbers of children were starting in year 7 never having left our town, making maintaining a good enrichment programme against financial odds necessary.

That's very sad if that happens. I do feel though that watching the Olympics all the athletes would have had to come from very sporty, knowledgeable families
