How Were You ???

We put great demands on our kids to be the best,and to be standouts in the game...now ask yourself how were you as an athlete ????

 

I was a very good goalie (hockey) but once I hit high school and politics took over I kind of got screwed.
Was a real good golfer after high school. During high school was shooting in the low to mid 80's but then something happened and in my 20's & 30's I was around a 1 handicap. I haven't played in about 2 years but could probably still shoot in the high 70's.
Didn't play basball after junior high. Played softball up until I got married and was probably above average. Stopped playing once I got married & my DD started playing ball.

 

The older I get the better I was. Like the BIG fish story, it gets better with time. Remember the ups forget the downs. I thought I was a pretty good athelete in highschool. Started all 3 years in Football, tuffest 5'8" tackle around. All conference. I swam for 2 years. Started out as a joke but ended up State champion in a couple freestyle events. 23.7 seconds in 50 freestyle and 54.3 in 100 freestyle could win medals even today.

Played---

Played baseball through the middle teens, made allstars 3 straight years. My fortay was bowling...I was the first bowler under the age of 12 to ever bowl a 200 ( Actual 220 ) game in the history of Wimington,N.C., and also the first 600 set ever bowled in the city. I bowled in college for UNC-W, and won many matches against other D1 schools. My dad was the big ball player in our family he was looked at by AAA ball scouts, but was not educated enough nor had the push because of a dying father @ the age of 40 something !!! I do have great uncles that are pro golfers though that live in Pine Hurst !!

Hmm...

Mom made me work when I wasn't playing baseball, so couldn't play football.
Decent in baseball, .305 my senior year with some power. Toooooo slow (no comment from you Hedgehog.....)

And I wanted to wrestle (9th and 10th) but she said no cause I had braces.


I wish I had the football thingy back, to be honest. Thats always bugged me... But I turned out ok and didn't have to have too much therapy.
