June 16, 201313 yr After playing some tennis today for the first time in 5 years I thought to myself man I picked this up quick again and was quite proud of myself. Then I began to think that I was pretty decent at a variety of sports. So at the age of 27 I consider myself pretty good at football, baseball, basketball, golf (new at this game but I'm taking into consideration the length of time I've been playing added with how well I've adjusted), and tennis. I can not play basketball for a few months and then one day just pick up a ball and it feels like I never quit. Golf for me is a little different though, I Never played hockey and I suck at soccer. So what sports do you consider yourself above average at?
June 16, 201313 yr All the drinking man's sports like cornhole, pool, foosball, and horseshoes. Golf being the lone exception as I a) loathe it and b) suck at it. Pretty good at triathlon, running, and swimming. Not as much with biking though I'm sure I'm above average, just not close to the level of my training partners. I can still hold my own on the mat even with the high schoolers. Since I've stayed in decent shape I tend to do ok at about any pickup game that happens with the exception of basketball. I really suck at it.
June 16, 201313 yr The only team sport I play in basketball and I consider myself above average with below average athleticism.
June 16, 201313 yr I've always had an ability to imitate, so that makes me able to play most any sport and not look completely embarrassing while doing it. But I need practice. If I drop a few pounds I can definitely hold my own in the pick-up courts. Every team needs rebounders, and I can box out with the best of 'em. Even now.
June 16, 201313 yr I was a college football player and I had 60 or so KO's as an amateur boxer. I had some lower level college interest in basketball, too. Those were the sports I was good at. Now, I am a shell of myself athletically. When it comes to throwing hands, though, as the great Toby Keith said; "I'm as good once as I ever was."
June 16, 201313 yr If the average golfer has a tough time breaking 90, I guess I'm just a bit better than average. I averaged around 155 when I bowled; I don't know what "average" is in bowling. But for the most part, I peaked at 16.

June 16, 201313 yr Excel and PowerPoint...does that count? Also Mario Cart! Seriously I can still cast with the best of them, can toss a spinner bait in a teacup at about 25 yards.
June 16, 201313 yr Despite my complete and utter lack of athleticism I have always been above average in basketball, specifically if you’re in need of a point guard that is completely unselfish. My defense has fallen off the map however; I can't keep the young kids in front of me anymore. As far as other sports I was always the never excel at anything but contribute in a positive manner in most of them. A role player until the end!
