Oh, hey.
I started off with playing Hockey. At around 4 my brother taught me how to skate in our garage, from then I played Ice and Roller (Roller for the first 3, Ice for the remaining 8 ). When I was 15 the team I was on got dissolved for some stupid reason, we had won 3 of the last 4 tournaments we played in. I played Right Wing, and was captain the final year. I only played one year for my HS.

Then I started playing soccer, I had always played but never for a club, I've played since. Early on I was a fairly strong player, So I started as a right back. Although I did well, It became very clear I was more useful in an attacking role, as I had a knack for scoring on the top of the box on corners, and would frequently make runs up the pitch. I was then moved to a left wing/left mid position. I'm right footed but could cross on my left and preferred cutting in when it came to an attacking run. But after an injury I lost quite a bit of weight (20 pounds). I also started playing more dimensional rather then bolting down the sideline. I asked to play in an attacking midfielder position when the current starter got injured. And then from then on I've played there. I'm not a striker, I need space, and I'm not technically gifted in terms of flair or fancy tricks. But I'm good at distributing the ball and curling in shots from outside. So it fit.

How about you guys? I really don't know how many of you have played sports, or still play sports. Being the general anti sport vibe of this website (and the internet in general) I'm curious to see what history you guys have when it comes to playing a sport.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
We used to play floorball a lot with friends. I was pretty decent at it id say, sure as hell was the fastest though >.>

Played doubles in tennis.
Football, was tightend for a while then moved to fullback. Was left tackle for a while until I got moved to outside linebacker, which fucking sucked ass. "Okay so you have to be the first one to an outside play, but also have to be watching for shallow routes, oh and stay put for reverse"

literally fucking "do everything at once"

hey
Back in primary school I used to play Softball, where I was pretty much always in the out field because I was terrible, and Netball, where I think I was usually in the middle somewhere playing offensive

My first Team sport was Football (AFL). I was always a Spud, but was pretty big for my age group. I was almost always placed wherever the Ball was least likely to be, but told to tackle as much as possible. Our Inter School Sports team won both years (grade 5 and 6) with me as a Defender (a few of those guys were pretty good so the ball never went in our back half). I played Soccer (sue me, it's the correct terminology in my region) a bit and was reasonably good at it, especially as a Goal Keeper too, but never really got into it as my school mates got really mad and started flinging shit at me after endless attempts at Scoring.

In Year 9 (2010) I took up Volleyball and had a pretty good serve that consistently scored points, but I partially tore a few Tendons in my Foot which sidelined me for 6 weeks, and by the time I recovered Volleyball season was over. I took up Middle Distance/Endurance running as a way to aid the rehabilitation of my Leg (it was so skinny by then that the widest point was the Ankle), and eventually got reasonably fit (sub-7:00 1.6 km after 4 weeks' training and 500 uninterrupted Situps that same year). I kept at that for a while until a friend invited me to a Mountain Bike race the next year where I placed 3rd, qualifying for State Champs and placing 11th IIRC. I did the Road Cycling event of that too and finished 4th, but decided to race Road despite the worse result.

So I've been Cycling ever since, and I started doing Track at the end of 2011 too, which was pre fun. I've had a Scholarship with a Sports Academy since 2012/'13, but that's mainly for Training Camps/educating people on how to be smart in competition, and realistically anybody with ambition can get in the Cycling Program. I was on the team that won the Team Pursuit at U19 state Champs in 2013, Bronze at the 2014 U19 Team Sprint Champs, and Silver at the 2014 Team Pursuit Championship. I still ride but haven't gotten any noteworthy results since some C Grade club race wins at the end of 2014. I want to do Road Nationals since they're in my Home town until 2017, but I keep being a piece of shit and not training/fucking up my diet/sleeping pattern. Also it's an expensive af sport in Aus.

I'm thinking of training in Boxing/MMA for base Fitness and to train the muscle groups that I don't work in Cycling. I wanna get to a pre high level tbh fam

I was a defensive linesman one year in Junior High.

That's about it, apart from playing a bit of footy in the park with the lads.

So is modesty. You don't need to scream how little you conform from the rooftops at everyone constantly.

Soccer, played until 4th grade I think.

From 7th Grade to my Junior year I played football.  Defensive line, Offensive Line, and Linebacker.

I also did track and field from Sophomore to Junior year, mostly 100 and 200 meter sprints, Long Jump, and pulled off a 400 meter once.

I haven't been able to string together more than 2 months' worth of uninterrupted training without falling away for several weeks but yee, my resting Heart Rate is 38 BPM. I was pretty surprised to find out it was below 50 within my first year of taking up Riding too. I have the same resting HR as my Friend when he was fit and won a medal at Track Nationals, but nowhere near the overall power and endurance he has (mainly due to him starting at an earlier age and having much better development). It's interesting how the body works.
