Cannot think of a name

I played soccer (football) for a long ass time. I was okay.

I was on swim team for a bit, I did the distance events and butterfly. That I could do the butterfly was really my only value, I wasn't particularly fast. Can't do it anymore.

Raced most my childhood, first in Quarter Midgets then in Karts. Mmmm, spoiled youth. (made up for it by being homeless as an adult)

Took karate (kenpo) and fencing (foil) sucked hard at both.

Well yah, but it's not like you can have the same sort of strategic game, shooting other people with REAL guns, could you? huh? well, you could, but paintball's much safer.

Used to be into archery and kayaking, also used to play footie as a teenager (was an excellent keeper due to some unknown force I exert which causes all balls to hit me :p).
- Now my sport is shopping, and I must say, it can get quite competitive and violent ;)

Dammit! You beat me to painball... er, paintball! Best sport EVAR. :D

Used to like archery, until an arrow shattered in the bow, and the back half of it came within 1/4" of piercing my forearm. :eek:

Infrequently, I'll also kayak, swim, stumble around in a drug-addled stupor, cycle, and desk-piloting. :)

Pffft...Tippman sucks! even a spyder is better than that! except maybe the A-5. Haven't used it, but I think it's butt-ugly, so.....
Outdoor or indoor?

I was a champion high jumper (yes, you can Google me if you know my name and find the records i held), and now i coach high jump at the local high school.

I also teach Yoga. Is that considered a sport?

Back in school, i also swam on the swim team. I stunk at it.
Played one season on the basketball team. Mostly stunk at that, too.

For about ten years i was an avid cyclist, averaging around 150 miles a week. Then my lightweight racer was stolen.

Now i play a little badminton, do a bit of canoeing, go trout fishing when i'm in Montana.

Projectile sports and engine sports don't interest me in the slightest.

Football, rugby and occasionly cricket. In football I play either full back position, and rugby I play wing or fly half. And since I don't properly play cricket, I just mess around I don't have a position. I even got the most improved player on my football team, but I think that's just me going from ok, to a little better. By no way am I the best on my team though.

Thanks. I had a lot of luck. Even through it sounds bad it was quite harmless and not painfull. It just felt strange.

Football mainly, defender, defensive midfield. Sometimes keeper, but I have a strange tendency to be pretty good one day, the next day I'm aweful, then good, then crap etc... so mainly defense.

Play a bit of rugby and cricket with my mates aswell.

Cricket, the Gentlemen's Game (theoretically anyway...). Solid RH Opening batsman, part-time/useful RLS. Played for both school and club.

Handy football (soccer) player at best, although Ive never played it for a proper club or anything.
