Do you really suck at sports?

Post Reply New Topic

I suck at most sports. It doesn't matter if its basketball, baseball, or soccer. I think I do OK in tennis, but I rarely play it so I don't remember. I also do OK in badminton but haven't played in a while so I might forget how to hit the birdie accurately.

I don't understand the concept of "controlling the ball" whether its basketball or soccer. Like are you supposed to already know in your head what motion you should do next before acting on it? I watch other people control the ball and it seems as though every move is really random and unexpected (it should be right? that way the opponent can't steal the ball from you). If thats the case, my brain can't seem to process that fast, controlling my moves while watching what the opponent is trying to do.

I quit baseball every since it wasn't t-ball anymore (where the ball is put on a stand). I remember in grade 9 gym class when we went swimming for a week, on the first day, we had a "test" to see how well we could swim. I was the slowest swimmer in the whole class and the teacher told me I wasn't allowed to go to the deep end.

No... I was actually very good and very sporty back at school, awww you really reminded me of the school days I used to have, I really sure do miss it though big time.

I used to enter alot of competitions for football (soccer you would call it) and I would actually help make my school win that we actually even got the gold medals, even though my team would always argue. I wish I could play another game of football.

Thanks for bringing me back memories..

I was also the slowest swimmer in class at school...for all 6 classes throughout my primary school years actually. I wasn't bad at all sports though. I did quite well at cross country running, apart from unintentionally deviating from the track and getting lost (which used to happen 3/4 of the time). Team sports like soccer, rugby and netball confused me completely. I didn't understand the rules and just couldn't keep up with what was happening, it was too fast.

I suck at all sports. It's a combination of poor motor skills, slow reaction time, and being afraid of getting hurt.

I've always been terrible at sports. Like IdahoRose, I have poor coordination and slow reaction time, and have been terrified of getting hurt.

I'm awful at all sports. However, I was really good at volleyball last time I played, which was about six years ago, so I don't know if I'd still be good at it.

Yes.

I can't catch well.
I can't throw far.
I have very poor coordination, and the left side of my body seems to not always want to do what I want it to do.

not always, but usually

No, quite the opposite. I am actually quite good at sports.

NONE of my sports are team sports because my reason for doing sports has ALWAYS been entirely practical.

Running, cycling, swimming and weight training pretty much cover everything I need.

Like school (for me) the team/social element of sports always got in the way and was a hindrance; I just never saw the point.

It's the sports that suck, not me.


(except a few, like motocross )

I sucked at sports. I was always the slowest and the clumsiest. I was one of the biggest and strongest kids in my PE classes. My weight slowed me down quite a bit, though.

I'm good at one on one sports (badminton, tennis if I wasn't so unfit). I'm no good at team sports.

I suck ass at team sports but I'm ok at individual ones.

No good at team . Was very good at individual stuff. Might even start running again in spring.

Bag-work is great. You can learn to really move and practice without feeling silly. Skipping is so
good when you finally get it.

I am not really good at sports, but I did very well in aerobics.

I have excellent eye-hand coordination.

Yeah that pretty much explains why about me except, when it comes to basketball or swimming.
