well, I was just thinking about how I have practice starting soon, and I was wondering:
what sports do the guys at acmlm's board play? personally I'm a wrestler in the winter (I was JV last year, and I probably will be this year too.) I also run cross country in the fall, and track in the spring (though I don't like it at all, and I might not this year.) wrestling is my favorite sport (real wrestling, not that crap you see on WWF, or whatever they all it now) period. It's an honorable sport -- much like an arena, but nobody dies (you can get seriously injured, esp. if your opponent is hyped up on steroids, I've seen it happen) "It's a fight with rules" as one of my coaches put it. Im not that good at it, but I'm not the worst in the world, I've won my share of matches. cross country is actually kind of fun -- You can be slow as all hell and still not come in last -- there are people who walk! I guess its fun because you really dont have to try -- although I still do, because the exercise of a 3-4+ mile run is good. Also there are some cute girls on the team . lol. track is... well... hard. thats my fault though. I show some potential as a runner, but I dont put enough effort forth in training -- I just dont feel like it. Im lazy, and can play video games instead. If I really tried, I could be good, but I without lots of conditioning It absolutely kills me to do the running. Oh yeah, for track, I do long distance (800 +, usually the 1 or 2 mile.) so what about you guys/gals? |

I used to play sports.
I was a wrestler for six years, then changed high schools and needed a different sport. I went into Vale Tudo, learning submission wrestling and boxing. I quit the season after three months. The stuff was too hardcore. I went to Shotokan afterwards, mostly trained, no sport. Later I went into full contact tournaments, and began learning Thai Boxing, and Vita Saana. I'm very grateful for that training, which was free. I won a lot of tournaments and was invited to a world martial arts tournament in my senior year of high school, but the entry fee was $200, and it was in Maryland, so I didn't attend. After high school I taught mixed martial arts in college for a year. I don't teach or train anymore though, but I'd love to get back into it, hopefully when I reach a permanent duty station (US Navy)... |

I used to play indoor soccer, and a year of football in high school.
My indoor soccer team was a blast, my friends and I made our own and joined a league. |

When I was younger, I played soccer because I was still trying to find my skill.
Soccer wasn't it. I found softball later on, and I was good AND loved it. I played on All-Star teams and travel teams, always got to play, and made a lot of friends. I stopped playing because I had to get a job. Boo. |

I was a long distance runner for my track team--I did the one and two mile runs (or 1600m and 3200m). That's about the only sports I did. | |||

Right now in college the only two sports I play most often(with friends) are Soccer and Squash.
I used to play soccer in high school though I wasn't anything special and didn't care for juggling. At Rutgers, there's a small field that my friend and I used for 1 v 1 soccer matches. It had four lamp posts and the way to score a goal would be to hit a certain post on the opposite side(both aren't considered goals, only one is) to score. In this crude drawing of the final match(held sometime this past May), I am the blue dot with the green ball. The line indicates the route as it traveled all the way to the post. |

I'm a laser tag guy myself. I play at a place called Laser Quest. The style I play involves a lot of dancing and dodging as opposed to the hide and seek variety of laser tag. | |||

I played golf for my high school, but I made it off the junior varsity squad. I doubt I'll play any sports in college at all. | |||

I used to play alot of hockey back in middle-high school, right now I'll play football with friends every now and then, although I'm way out of shape compared to when i was in school, so it's not nearly as fun. | |||

I played Basketball and Tennis for my highschool when I was there. But other than organized sports (I still played basketball in leagues) I find myself playing a lot of Ultimate, Soccer, Football, and endless hours of basketball at the gym. I just started up running again, but that's more to stay in shape and not as a sport.
Originally posted by spiroth10 I think this is really funny because all the people I know who did cross country were in places that were really competitve and the slow people ran 6:30 miles. My roommate kicks some serious ass in running, he did a half marathon at a 5:43 pace. I don't think I could ever run that fast for a single mile, let alone 13. |

I used to play soccer all the time, I was quite good at it until I got into tennis, which is vastly more fun and uses parts of your body other than your legs. | |||

Climbing, squash, and trials biking. I'm pretty bad at trials, though, so I don't know if it's correct to say I actually ride trials. | |||

I used to play softball, I was pretty good at it... all stars and travel teams and stuff. But I eventually had to quit because a) my team sort of fell apart and b) I had to get a job.
I also played soccer when I was really young, but I sucked at it. I love to play almost any sport though, football, hockey (I can't skate very well anymore though), etc. |

When I was a kid it was anything between Soccer, Baseball and Basketball. Unfortunately, I had to deal with asthma (still do) for a large majority of the time so I was repeatedly 'down' to play anything between age 4 and 14...so I didn't really do too well.
The only thing that qualifies that I still do would be DDR/ITG and that's really helped my stamina quite a bit. I could probably take on sports again but...hey...I'm 22 in about 2 days and I don't go to college, currently. :\ |
