I played Football (American) in High School for two years. One of my biggest struggles was caring because I loved the sport but didn't know anyone on the team, didn't have any friends in my school so I didn't try very hard.

I was pretty good at it when I played outside with my friends. Wasn't too bad at baseball either, though I never played in any organized way. I always threw very well. I liked floor hockey too, but couldn't play the real thing because no way I could actually skate.

While I did those things, I can't ride a bike, skate (any kind), or swim. So I'm certainly not athletic.


Me too I hadn't good balance I have difficulties to learn to ride a bike and I was afraid but when I learnt it I like it and I can swim I am good at swimming and I like it

I'm naturally athletic, but not with team sports. I suck at team sports, perhaps because it requires group effort and instinctual interaction with others.

I'm naturally strong, coordinated, have good proprioception, and excellent balance. It runs in the family.

I'm not sure why I am not uncoordinated like most aspies. I'm guessing that I have another form of ASD that is caused by different genes. I have very good fine motor skills as well.


I was born with bad coordination but now I haven't problem with this I am coordinate. Bad coordination is characteristic of aspergers syndrome or is it other disorder which coexist with aspergers syndrome?

I suck at most physical activity, but I do try.

Never played on any teams, but I played basketball a whole year at school. I was very out of shape physically but I wasn't the worst player there, I was a bit less than average though. However, I had my moments. My best being a shot from half-court. I was being blocked, so I spun around and jumped and threw, without even aiming, and it went straight in. No bumps on the net or anything, but straight in. Everyone was surprised, haha.

Outside of school, I was known as the best basketball player among friends and family, and it was and still is my favorite sport.

I also did parkour at school and when out and about, was decent at that, but have been out of practice for a while.

I played soccer with my friend, who is also on a team, at his house. He did note I was quite decent and I like to think I am, I kick it the correct way instead of just booting it with the front of my foot.

I love running, and am quite decent at it, though I always failed at school sports day because I would overshoot and run too fast in too little time, making me vomit.

I would run to and from classes though.

When I actually learn to pace myself, my stamina is quite good.
