"When my younger son, Jacob*, broke his foot two times in a row, our life went
on hold. Both of my boys typically spend about five or six days a week at the
skatepark and the rest of their time playing hockey or BMX racing. But with
Jacob in a cast, skatepark visits were reduced to two times a week, and the
only way my older son, Silas, could enjoy time missed skateboarding was by
playing the video game Skate on his Xbox.

Little did I know that it would not only make him a better skater but also
improve his ability to predict outcomes in his surroundings and increase his
spatial awareness.

Here's what happened."
