    Default Any Athletes Out There?

    I know we all like to talk about sports and watch sports, but who out there actually plays a sport?

    It could be club stuff, company softball league, whatever.

    As for me, I play tennis at the HS Varsity level, first match tomorrow.

    Anyone else play sports?

    It is well, it is well, with my soul.

    Football, track and cross-country in high school. Now I play rugby for Cal U of PA. I'm the captain this season, which means I have to try to keep 14 rugby players behaving themselves on the field. Not the most fun job in the world.

    I play soccer every week still. Just an adult rec league though. Played hockey, soccer, and baseball through high school. I still play hockey when I get a chance, but mostly just pick up.

    I played football and various other sports (mainly to get in shape for football - track, soccer, weightlifting team) in high school. I was on a good 2 year stretch of lifting weights and jogging 3 or 4 times a week, but the last couple of months have been pretty busy, so I've neglected the workout regimen.. I got to get back on it.

    I'm a tennis player. Was on Varsity back in the day.

    I was looking into boxing, but then I went and broke my hand last August. Now I'm just trying to get back into shape.

    I love long-distance running. Would like to do it competitively someday.

    Never really played any sports in high school. I went to a small school that didn't have a football team, which I really wanted to play. In an attempt to motivate myself, I have found a 5k run/walk in a couple months that I am going to participate in. Here is a visual for you: A 5'11", 250 lbs, bald korean guy running roughly 3 miles early one morning. My wife (and pretty much everyone else) thinks I am nuts, but who cares, my goal is just to not be the last one across the line. And yes, I am prepared to take out the little old lady if it comes down between the two of us.

    I currently play football at Walsh University in Canton, OH (we play at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, doesn't get much better than that fellas). It's a D-II school with some big time talent. It's definately a whole new level and a lot of fun/work. Not sure if cigars are the best thing for me but hey, you only live once right?

    I play 2nd string outside center on the rugby team at Mississippi State. It was pretty odd how I got into it. I barely even knew what rugby was until about three weeks ago I went to watch them practice out of curiosity plus some of my buddies play and later in the practice I ended up running some drills with them just for poops and giggles. I enjoyed it so I kept showing up and they gave me a position. Playing really makes me wish I wasn't such a little dude so I could just plow through the defensive line a little easier but I'm working on it. It is a rough sport, though. I got 2 bruised ribs the first day we were hitting and I could talk all day about the injuries I saw at our tournament Saturday.

    Also, in high school I did all kinda crap including basketball, tennis, and even a year of cheerleading but focused on cross country.

    But I'm by no means "athletic" nor am I in good shape haha.
