Why am I only good at the sports I hate?

Injuries these days take so long to heal that I just simply get used to the pain - then one day weeks/months later I suddenly realise it's not hurting anymore but can barely remember what it was I injured in the first place!

Just dislocated my left little pinky on Sunday - **** knows how long that's going to take to heal properly!

Get punched in the nose?

ACK!

hockey

I play roller hockey for my school. We play in two leagues. I'm the President of the team. It's a club sport. One of the leagues is inter-collegiate. We play teams like Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, DePaul, Purdue and others.

Baseball... meh... I enjoy playing for fun. I don't get a chance to play as much anymore.

Football (not soccer... **** soccer) I am unstoppable with the ball and I'm ferocious on defense. I could play college football if I wanted to. But the risk of injury is not worth it.

basketball I used to shoot a lot when I was younger... now? not so much

softball

hmmm... not much else worth mentioning

dodgeball is fun, but I haven't played that in years...

I don't feel I've reached my physical peak yet. I'm starting to enter my prime. I feel like if I continue to work hard, I'll be in really great shape for another 10-15 years. Nutrition has been the most important thing for me. I was in good shape a few years ago when I was playing hockey in high school and when I was thinking of going to college and playing ice hockey, but my diet was ****.


I was reading that skills and talent aren't things we are born with. They are developed through hard work and practice over the course of many years. I would agree with this. I suck at basketball because I don't shoot hoops a lot. I'm good at hockey because I've spent years going out to rinks, skating, shooting, passing, etc... It's as simple as that.
