I played soccer as a teenager. I loved it.
I Played Soccer, Football, Volleyball, Some Tennis, Ping Pong, Hacky Sack, Koosh, Badminton, & Bocce Ball with my friends. Lot's of fun. Also on Thanksgiving used to go, to win a Turkey by shooting a Bow & Arrow at balloons to pop them. Fun Times!

As a child I was the kid who wanted to be a professional athlete. When I was younger I was a very good baseball player and long jumper. As a baseball/softball player I was good enough to play in adult leagues at 14 years old and even made a all star team at 16 years old. While I was good I was not good enough to play pro ball. My childhood dream was to be an Olympic long jumper the most. Sadly once I broke my ankle was unable to continue and realize my dream. Was it realistic, probably not but it was a dream I still wish I could have done more to accomplish.
I love bowling as a kid and as an adult I took the game more seriously and was good enough to nearly win a Amateur Bowlers Tour title finishing in 2nd by the smallest of margins. I was good enough to qualify to get my Professional Bowlers card. Sadly I did something I regret more that anyone knows. Becoming a professional and being ready and able to win are two different story's. I wanted to spend the time to become better over another year or 2 to be prepared to win when I got hurt at work and needed to have surgery.While it was successful there was a complication during surgery and I would not physically be able to pick up a ball for over 2+ years. By the time I was able to bowl again I had a major back injury and the end of my being a profession athlete was secured. I only wish I had gotten my card when I could. I could have at the very least said I made it.
This is why I play poker today. I cant be competitive in sports but poker gives me the opportunity to keep my competitive spirit happy.

This sport perfectly develops the motor skills of the brain and the muscles of the whole body. Everyone prefers a sport that they like....the trampOLINE, the most humbling sport

I did judo for years when I was a kid, then I did kickbox for couple years, tried out muay thai for a short while, few years after that I did casual boxing for like a year. Training is good for health but these kind of sports come with risk of injuries, like in judo when I was a kid the old trainer broke my toe with hitting his heel on it really strongly. So I recommend not to put your kids in to fighting sports under the age 16 or 18 even. It is very rough for young kids, they have to go to school and study every day, it will make a lot of problems in kids life.

When I was younger I played football, I was a goalkeeper.
Today I don't practice any sport. During a match I broke my finger once and my mother was very worried about me and rightly, so, since then I'm focused on e-sports. I really like LOL (League of Legends).

I was actively involved in football as a child, but did not become a big player, and now my sports are fishing and poker, someone will say that poker is not a sport, but I think this is the same sport as chess, here you also need to think.
