Righteous 'tude you got there. 8)



I'm good at bike-riding.

I enjoyed dodgeball in school, cause I be a Matrix-esque ninja. :twisted:

I'm really good at catching, but suck at pitching. (Come on, pervs. Say somethin'.)

You know how there's always one person that gets picked last? I don't even get that honor. People would rather have less people on their team than let me play. I can't throw or catch anything but a frisbee. Really the only advantage I ever had was being quick and getting in the way, which is pretty convienent for interference actually.

I'm very fast when it comes to track although I've never competed in school. I have perfect coordination and I was ranked among the top twenty players in the world on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II; With a K/D ratio of 4.54. I've never been talented at any other athletic sport however.

I have a rare low vision disorder that causes me to have problems seeing distances & also I have bad coordination & slow reflexes so it should be obvious that I s#ck at sports.

i took track in jr year of high school. i had to do it for graduation requirements.
it was...ok, i enjoyed practice but i was a horrendous runner in competitions, often got last or penultimate place. i chose track because it was real simple, lots of acquaintances there, i didn't understand the rules and plays of other sports, and i didn't want to take boring 'ol PE.
i think i'll do it again this year.

but i have long legs.

I'm not much into team sports, nor am I good at them. I'm pretty independent most of the time. I like swimming and track. I also do martial arts outside of school.

My skills at most sports are subpar. I'm not very fast, and I can't throw very well. I also don't care for team sports. However, I am okay at bowling and golf.

I was good at them. A self test I took on ASD seemed to reflect I was NT physically, AS mentally.

Much of what happens in sports is too quick to really think about. There must be a lot of very fast subconscious calculations and instinct kicking in. Whatever part of the brain controls those things must be one affected by ASD. Perhaps the Cerebellum.

Yeah, I kinda do.

I'm not that fast, and I don't have the fastest reflexes around, heh.

i have trouble seeing distances too, but i'm just nearsighted. (myopic)

Yes, I am very bad at sports and have a hard time catching a ball (or anything else that is thrown at me).

When it comes to traditional team sports I suck from here to Rio and back. I can't catch, can't throw, can't kick, can't keep track of the ball or of what a dozen people are doing. And if I do somehow get the ball I lose track of where I am on the field or court.

As a kid I hated gym with a passion. In particular, what sadistic bastard came up with dodgeball? Organized, sanctioned bullying.

In summer camp, though, I discovered that I loved archery; in the Navy I found that I enjoyed running, although I've never been at a competitive level. Today I'm quite fit, from cycling, running, and free weights, all of which I do alone. I've never even entered any kind of race or event, because I know from experience that I hate running or cycling in a crowd.
