For the last three days I’ve played tennis. Based on my current skill level I’m pretty sure I could invite the lil kids over playing on the jungle gym and they would whomp me. I’m hoping some tiny bit of skill will come back to me if I keep playing. It’s been so much fun going out and doing it. Especially since I’ve been dragging Chris away from his addiction of World of Warcraft, the cold heartless game that causes people to give up sleep, food, and bathroom breaks.
I forgot what it was like to do something that was competitive as well as athletic. I never really liked playing sports while growing up mostly because I never felt I could succeed to the level I wanted too. When I have a problem that I need my brain to solve, I know I can succeed. But when it comes to going head on with someone in say ultimate or tennis I always choke. This may be because I never could commit the time to be as successful at sports as I was academically. Fortunately I will win in the end, I stay active enough to be healthy, but where I excel the most in, is what will bring more success than anything else I could have chosen to do.
