Why am I only good at the sports I hate?

[KrazyHorse]

Baseball: stupid, boring sport. Played little league for 4 years, was team MVP on the championship team (of Western Montreal) for 3 straight years. Was the starting pitcher and had highest batting average most of the time.

Hockey: awesome sport. Played 5 years as a kid. Was never anything other than a mediocre 2nd line defenceman.

Rugby: fun sport. Mediocre winger (admittedly on a really good high school team)

Basketball: sort of interesting. Absolutely **** player.

American football: again, sort of interesting. Better than mediocre player, worse than really good.

Golf: absolutely fun game. One of the ****tier players you will ever find.

And today, for the first time since I was 12 years old, I played a game of volleyball (on an intramural team). Volleyball is the dumbest sport ever invented. And I absolutely ruled the court. I was spiking and blocking like a champ. But who cares? It's volleyball.

What a hollow victory it is to be good at a sport that sucks.

I have it worse. I'm good at curling. I suck at everything else.

I'm good at most things I enjoy. Cricket, football, badminton, rugby, cycling

I would think pool would be your game.

Way to name 4 **** sports in the same breath as one good one.

[ZEE]

i was awesome at basketball... before my injury. but i can still shoot

[KrazyHorse]

I can't do anything on the basketball court. It might be the sport I'm worst at.

Obviously our definitions of good differ significantly.

I'm actually good at pool (8 ball, 9 ball and snooker)

I don't really count that though.

to be serious. I suck at all sports.

I'm good at making baskets in basketball as long as no one is in my face. . I can make open shots.

In softball I pretty much suck. But at least I can hit the ball. Never played real baseball.

Football I'm not too bad at I guess. I just don't have the size to be good.

hockey- never played

Soccer/football- I played this as a kid. But I was always a bench warmer. The coach would try to get us some playtime. Never scored a goal though. Can't remember what position I was. In between the forwards and the defense guys. What's the name of that?

I reached my athletic peak at approximately age 12. Good at baseball, very good at basketball, decent at hockey, good at football, good at soccer.

It's been pretty much downhill from there, although I'm still respectable at softball.

Well, you did specify sports in the thread title after all.

What part of "game" do you not understand?

Snooker is not a subset of pool. It has table six times bigger, to start with.
