I think we all know that the best, fastest sperm wins the race to become the child whatever whatever. My question is does it actually make a difference for the kid. Would there be any difference if it was just a random one, not the first one? I’m wondering if the sperm cell being first has any correlation to the human being more functional or anything.

If we assume that sperm speed and quality is determined by the genes contained in that sperm, then it’s likely that high quality sperm will result in offspring who also have high quality sperm.
But there’s probably no correlation between sperm quality and other traits in the offspring.
TLDR: fast sperm create babies who grow up to have fast sperm (or who carry the trait, in the case of girls).
