I played soccer for 12 years until I got hurt in a Varsity game in high school. Also were on school teams for Track (Long Distance, hurdles, and high jump) Wrestling, and cross country. I also did basketball and boxing. Now pretty much golf is the only real sport I do on a regular basis.

I tell you it sucked getting hurt, it's actually very difficult to go from sports all three seasons of high school to nothing. I joined a shit load of clubs to compensate.

- Cross Country Running, short guy with ridiculous will power, 4th grade through 8th grade, team captain in my last year.
-Baseball from 5th grade through 8th grade around age 10-14, team captain in my last year.
-Track and Field, 5th grade through 8th grade, sprinting and high jump, I was among the shortest on the team but in the high jump I could exceed my own height, team captain in my last year.
-Wrestling, Boring sport. did it because I was good, and my older brother was a State champion. 7th and 8th grade, lost 5 matches overall, team captain in 8th grade.

I was never the best at anything but I was among the top 3-5 in everything. After leaving public school in favor of improving my academic life I dropped all sports, at this point all I do is run for recreation because it was always what I had the most fun doing.

Indeed, It was leaving sports that got me on the net, it's why I found the BO and BOM in 2003.

Track & Field in middle school. Mostly did the long jump, but did some sprinting events sometimes. I was like the go to fill in person for the sprints or relays when someone else was sick or whatever.

My favorite sport to play is football. I always wished I could join the football team at school, but of course it was a guys only sport. Yet there was a guy on the girls volleyball team. :mad:

Leagues: Baseball - from 8 yrs old till 8th grade
Track - 4 yrs high school (2 varsity, though Junior year was better as senior year I was still recovering from a basketball injury)
X-country - 4 yrs (2 varsity)
Basketball - 4 yrs (2 varsity)

I actually got pretty decent at basketball my senior year in high school. I was thinking of trying to walk on a Div. III team or something, but then in one of our last games I was having the best game I had ever played and in the 4th quarter I grabbed a rebound and came down on someone's foot. Tore 2 ligaments in my ankle. Never was the same. But it turned out to be a good thing since I focused on going to college for academics after that point.

Now: Pick-up basketball at the Y, some local old-man leagues.
Soccer - but I suck, haha. Fun to play though.
