I'm not boasting, but i'm pretty good at all sports, especially Golf, Cricket,Tennis and Badminton. I've won 3 golf competitions this year, and got into a tennis doubles final at my club. The problem is I suffer bad anxiety when i'm playing sport, and feel I could be so much better. Anyone similar?

I am a pretty good kickboxer, I can beat up most of the guys I train with. Haven't competed yet though.

Keep it going mate, keep practising, and you'll be able to beat everyone at your club.

I'm good at rollerblading, though I don't compete with people. I can go 14km/h on average on a 19.5km route.

I don’t enjoy sports that require personal interaction with other people, so I’m probably not good in them. However I do enjoy individual sports and have been pretty good at some of them, such as:
Snowboarding
Running
Skating

I am not great at a lot of sports, but I enjoy playing some: volleyball, football, and hockey. My best sport is boxing and I'm pretty good at it. I win fairly often, but I think I do well in part because it's an individual sport: it's just you versus the other guy. Team sports require more interaction with others and are more difficult, IMHO.

I find snowboarding to be fanatical. And so when I snowboard, I am more inclined to ride fast at full speed. WEll, I mostly like to cruise downhill, rather than engage in freestyle (jumps, tricks, etc.).

I also like to play soccer. But Soccer is difficult because everyone that you play with is extremely verbal during the course of the game. There is a lot of communication going on on the pitch. And I am usually quiet and don't receive a pass very often. Would anybody give me tips on what to do in that situation?

You might have to try being verbal, just say "go on" or something. But you might not need to say anything. What you have to do is try and get in a bit of space, where you're away from the opposition, they are more likely to pass to you then. Also try making quick runs and somone might play you a long ball. Try tackling the opposition when they have the ball. Over here as well if someone has the ball, you pass it to someone and then say "one, two" which means they should pass it back.

If you're in open space, just yell, or clap your hands to get the attention of the person with the ball. It doesn't even have to be words, just start running and holler.

Or, if you play defense, try to notice the patterns that the other players use in their plays, and anticipate the pass. You should be able to steal the ball that way. (I play defense). I've also noticed that it's easier to get the ball from someone if you try harder than they expect. That could cause the physical level of the game to pick up, so only do it if you can handle it...

I have the perfect body for sports, I just don't like them.

...Well, I do like to play baseball as a hobby, but I'm not serious about it.

I'm pretty good at running. I'm on my college's cross country team, and I'm currently training to run the 10000 meter in track. I was also a pretty good goal keeper on my soccer team in middle school, but I decided to run in track and cross country in high school because the seasons overlapped.
