I do not sport. This is an insensitive question.

You specified "organized sports" of which the only one I did was track and field (I was a sprinter and long jumper).

I played lots of disorganized sports, including some we made up. I nearly killed a friend with the football/golf mix we developed when he was trying to block my field goal and I launched the golf ball right into his head. This was the era of lawn darts, so this was a re4asonable idea at the time.

Played a ton of soccer (midfielder) and football (QB, RB, WR). I was skinny and fast back then. Least favorite position ever: goalie. You are either bored because the ball is nowhere near you, or overstressed because the ball is. There is no middle ground.

In the spring, I did track and field. Started originally with long distance events (1600m, 3200m), but moved into the middle distances my last two years (400m 800m) plus added in triple jump, because why not. I'm actually still listed on my high school's track honor roll in 5 or 6 events, I believe.



I got bored running anything more the 400m, which is why I was a sprinter. I liked 10-20 seconds and done. :)

ALTHOUGH, I’m a champion paintball player. Played a ton with my best friend growing up and we still go every now and then, we both got really good. We used to go to 300 player scenario games (different themes like WWII etc). It’d be like 150 people against 150 people out in the woods, tons of different objectives to capture and defend and things like that, it’d last all day. That was always the most exciting day of the year for me, so much fun


Paintball is fun. We also did a lot of laser tag in high school (first with cheap sets we bought when the craze went away, then when one of the laser tag places opened up, we went there). We also used to have late night disc gun battles in the parks.

Also I got really good at archery


One of my friends loved archery and so started taking special courses for it up in Ithaca. His mission is to be able to fire accurately from horseback.
