Football 5th grade to Free Agent with Chicago Bears
Natural BodyBuilding 23 to 33
Then Tri’s
.
Football from 6th grade thru HS. This was my thing. Could have played in college at D2 schools, but I wanted a “big college” experience. My “coolest” recruiting letter was from Harvard. I hope my parents still have it.
Sheesh. Who turns down Harvard?!
I wasn’t quite an offer for a scholarship or anything. Just a letter of interest that was sent out to “slightly better than average” football players. Had I known then what I know now, I probably should have at least pursued it a little. But there would have no way that my parents could have afforded to send me there.
I played Sports a lot in the 1980’s.

Nowadays its just soccer and triathlon.

Paintball?
Paintball kicks your butt! I have never gotten serious about it, because it gets so freaking expensive, but if money wasn’t an object, I would play twice a month. I am always sore for a few days afterward. A lot of fun, and a huge switch up from any other sport.

Your not joking! luckly i had some sponsors that helped take the sting off playing. I was playing/practicing 3-4 a week leading into events.
A lot of martial arts and high school XC when I was younger. Dabbled in Judo and Capoeira since then.
Football from age 8 until I graduated High School, wrestled in middle school and HS. In college I boxed and ran cross country and I have been doing bjj/muay thai off and on since then. Have tried golf, never really enjoyed it and triathlon is expensive enough. I have surfed/snow boarded since I was young but dont do it nearly enough anymore.
HS Varsity Sports:
Football
Baseball
Basketball
Soccer
Wrestling
Tennis
Swimming
Skied competitively too on the side (HS did not have a team)
In retrospect, guess I had a little bit of ADD.
Somehow forgot that my best sport, still do it quite a bit only not competitively, involves standing in place on a 3’ x 3’ block of concrete - skeet shooting. Talk about expensive…
Rode horses and team roped through High School. In college discovered volleyball and played indoors and beach at the AA level until I tore my ACL. Then taught myself to swim and started doing triathlons. discovered I enjoyed running way more than swimming, so running ultra’s became my main sport for a number of years, but I am going to start doing tri’s again next year.
Along the way have wind surfed, climbed, tried to surf, played raquetball tourneys and just tried to have fun.
Hockey ( surprise?)
Golf
Track
Cross country running
Cross country skiing
Karate
Downhill skiing
Snowboarding
Roller hockey
.
Track & field, basketball, volleyball and soccer in high school, until senior year when I fell in more with the party crowd.
X-country and downhill skiing, curling, soccer, roller blading, scuba diving, automobile racing and pub league darts as an adult. Don’t know if you could really classify darts as a sport, but it was still quite competitive.
rugby!
