What sport do you excel at?

Football (american) came very natural for me. Whether it be throwing, catching or tackling. It just wasnt very hard for me to pick up.


Soccer on the other hand... I can't kick a ball to save my life. Most of the time, I'd be lucky if I didnt trip over the ball.

I also lack the hand eye coordination to hit a baseball. Little kids make fun of me and when I strike out in the 40 mph batting cage.

Also a beer pong champ at several house parties

I'll say rugby.
Big, strong, reasonably quick. The ball is easy to throw and catch, which helps my (somewhat) uncoordinated self manage.

Baseball would be the absolute death of me, I think.

Baseball
And QB in football.
I have a very live arm and top out around 82 mph, despite being 6'1" 155

Grew up playing baseball, soccer, tennis, but my true genius is in ultimate frisbee.

Physical sports, i have always enjoyed these sports more and excelled at them. I dont mind taking a big hit and are more than happy to give one back. Did me well in stuff like footy/rugby/boxing.

I also have done well in racket sports. I have very good hand/eye coordination and reflexes so i play alot of tennis/squash/badminton/table tennis.

I played at a pretty good level in basketball and soccer aswell but i never really excelled in either sport. I drew too many fouls and got frustrated easily, specially with all the fairys that play the game to get fouled and fall over.

Sports i suck at = bat sports. I could never get into cricket or baseball. Terrible at swinging a cricket or baseball bat for some reason. Never been that great of a throw either.

I can become pretty descent at any sport I try (I think). I'm good at soccer and football (again, I think). Not really great at anything. I really think I could have become great at soccer but that ship has long sailed
