I hold two state records in Track and Field. I set the record for the 400 dash and High Jump. I broke my hip 3x and my neck though and not only lost my scholarship but I can no longer run. If it wasn't for that I'm sure I would have set the record for the 200 and maybe 100. I did this all as a sophomore in High School.

Other then track I played football(American) and did basketball and wrestling for a few years as well. But track and field will always be my heart, and although I can no longer run at least I will always be written in stone.

Rugby Union, Rowing and Boxing are my main sports. Played Baseball for a while but simply put I was crap. Been playing rugby since I was 7, made a few age-grade rep teams over the years played for my high school's 1st XV for 2 years, 1 as a utility forward on the bench and 1 as starting number 8. Currently playing in the under-21 division 1 club comp in Auckland as an openside flanker. Took up Rowing when I was 13, haven't had a lot of success there aside from winning the men's club 8 title in the '06/'07 season. Been boxing for 2 years and have a record of 4-2 (1 k.o.).

I played football (American) for my high school, though we didn't win much games nor have outstanding players...I played to stay in shape and to keep my life active. I played base ball during my sophomore-senior year in high school, I played for the same reason also.

I don't regret playing sports, it did really help my self-esteem and ego.

For me, I used to play badminton and some soccer in school... But for recreational purposes only as I didn't enter the school team... That was 12 years ago, btw!

Today, I'm unable to play games as I used do, mainly due to work... However, to keep fit, I'm still playing badminton at least once a week with some buddies... I do head over to the pool for a few laps as well, as the club is not too far from my office actually...

The first sport i ever did was baseball, Baseball in Puerto Rico is almost like...a requirement, people think if you can't play baseball theres something wrong with you XD. After finding that sport boring I tried baseketball, but I wasn't tall enough.

So then I went into what I currently do, and thats Mixed Martial Arts, I'm trained in Shotokan Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and some Boxing. I've done 3 amateur fights, and won all by TKO.

I was in a swimming club for 4 years, i did races across scotand, I dont do it anymore tho its sumthin i lost interest in after so many competions.

Played football/soccer (i hate the word soccer lOL) for my school but i gave that up after i left. It is without a doubt my favourite sport i love to watch and play the game. I still play it now with my m8s at weekends and stuff but its not the same as playin in a league or in tournaments.

I also enjoyed basketball as a hobby tho i wasnt that great at it.

I hated sports. I did some Judo and kendo before, because I thought it would be cool, but they couldn't find a class with the people at my level in it, so I stopped playing them. I did swimming as well when I was a kid, and dished out a few ribbons, but it got boring after awhile, and I hated public change rooms. I hated going to gyms because I hated exercising with other people around, and gym exercises were repeptitive and boring. Actually, I still hate most sports. One of the reasons I hated the sports we did in school was because of the jockish association with people who played them. I considered all those times in gym classes at school to be a waste of my time--I could have been doing math, some other homework or other more interesting projects. The only thing I do is rollerblade because I understand most of the physics behind it. I went 19.5km in under 40 minutes once with them. I think I still hate sports because you have to play it with other people, and when you don't have to, I prefer doing them alone.

I used to play football for awhile and did some martial arts. I am into weight lifting which is considered a sport and do that somewhat regularly, I am also getting into boxing.

I played football all the time when I was a kid, I was never in a team but it's always been a big passion of mine right up until now. In 2006 I was the coach of a Sunday league team that didn't do so well, we just scraped relegation by the last two games of the season but I was happy with that, and surprised at how much shouting you have to do to get something done sometimes.
