From an early age (8) I was going to schools where my PE time was subverted into computer science stuff for the most part. I did discover I had a good body for wrestling in HS, but couldn't participate because of majority to minority transfer rules (was short and had an abnormally low center of gravity which made me near impossible to throw.)
After I got out of high school I started playing volleyball (5'5" and could clear high enough to spike a ball to the 10 ft line), and hockey (mostly rollerblade hockey, and I goaltended).
Side note : my first girlfriend, when I was 15, was a 6' powder puff football player. She was built like the proverbial Italian brick shit-house at 17 and threw me around like rag doll that had half the stuffing missing.... ah the good 'ol days...
Played football and baseball when I was young. Continued to play flag football until I was about 45 years old. I still play softball at 57 and am at least 30 years older than all the rest of the guys on my team but I can out hit most of them.
I played a littel football but was primarily a baseball player. In basebal, we won state my jr. year and were second in state my sr. year.
After graduating college, I coached high school football and wrestling.
Until 2007 when I retired, I was an ASA certified umpire in girls fastpitch softball, finsihing out my career doing the denton regional ASA tournament with a pretty cool assignment of first base for the championship game.
While 6' 2", I played basketball like I was 5' 9".
Still hold school record for getting cut the most number of times while trying to make the team - Cut 4 times, a high school record that will never be broken....
I guess I'm the only band geek..
