Sports: How far did you go?

[BukNaked36]

33 kids in my HS class so...

4 yrs football
4 yrs basketball
1 yr baseball
1 yr track

Small school football was awesome. I was 6'2" 200 lbs as a senior playing end both ways. Most of the kids I played again were 3 or 4" shorter and 20 to 30 pounds lighter. Good times.

Not really quick enough for college ball and figured engineering school was enough to handle.

i was a 3 sport (soccer/x country, wrestling, lacrosse) varsity athlete in high school

then i burned out from wrestling and put on 40 lbs in the next 4 years

I played basketball in High School but quit my senior year, I spent most of my time on the bech tho. I should have ran track because I would have been really good, but I didn't.

I started cycling in college and did a couple pro/expert level mountain bike races, and would prolly be really good if had been more dedicated, I havent really trained in almost year tho, so now im just a suck ass recreational rider, heh.

Ive started rock climbing and am really getting into that, still not very good tho. Im bouldering V3/4 and have top roped some .12a

Basketball - Played Varsity in HS, quit after junior season to focus on other sports.

Volleyball - played all 4 years in high school and played with my college's club team for a bit.

Track - competed all 4 years in HS, and competed at some HS level nationals meets, then competed on a national championship team in college until I partially tore my achilles tendon and it never healed 100% properly.

Coached Varsity Reserve volleyball team at one of the local high schools last year, quit this year due to some very large differences of opinion with the varsity coach. Will probably get back into coaching volleyball in the next couple years.

Coach jumpers on one of the high school teams in town, and would like to eventually coach at the college level, but that would be awhile from now before I can pull a job at that level.

I played golf for an NCAA div I program.

Turned pro right after college, and played full time for 6 years. Last year I got through the Stage 1 of PGA Tour Q-School. If I had made it through Stage 2, i would have been guaranteed at least partial Nationwide status.

Unfortunately, I have forgot how to swing a club this year, and as a result i have run out of sponsorship money. I've decided to pursue a career as a golf instructor.

Hopefully I can try Q-School again though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I was a state champion wrestler at 145#s. I finished runner-up my junior year, with my combined record for the 2 years being 68-7. I did ok in a couple of national freestyle competitions. I got a couple of offers for partial scholarships at smallers schools. I was tired of the constant training and weight loss so I said screw it and have regretted it ever since.
While in college I became a ref, and have throughly enjoyed it. I was selected to call in the state tournament last year. Pretty proud of that.

On another note several guys from my high school (See Two-A-Days on MTV) played D-1 football and baseball. Quite a few played minor league ball and a couple have spent time in the NFL

On a final note I now tip the scales at a svelte 210.

I played Varsity baseball for 3 years as a catcher. Also played JV football, strong safety. I got recruited by a few mid-american conference schools in baseball, but an ACL injury during my senior year pretty much put an end to those offers.

My best sport might of been pool (9-ball) tho. Im not sure how many here are familiar with professional pool. But I played pool since I was 9 years old. I took it furthur in college and actually made a name for myself in the Detroit area. Actually a very good pool scene here. I have played against and befreinded numerous professional players that have been seen on ESPN, most notably Francisco Bustamante in 2000. He cleaned my clock by the way in the first round of a big monthly tournament in Detroit. It was a good expierience tho.

Good luck, man. That's awesome.

Quick question: how do you hit the ball straight?

[lippy]

I was/am pretty decent at baseball. I quit after my sophomore year of HS because I liked drinkings and women more than baseball.

I'm a little [censored] as baseball goes (5'11, 180), but am fairly confident I could walk on to a D3 team.

I'm starting to get really good at Slowpitch Softball. I played with my friend's father in one of the competitive city leagues and a couple guys want me to play on their team for the most competitive state tournament. Or something like that, it's all confusing.

I don't hit bombs, but I play a really sick SS and have a cannon (incredibly strong arm compared to that average softball player).

Played Midget B hockey, though in my year, the other B team in the city actually beat the AA team when they played each other. Got a couple of invites to crappy college teams to try out for them. I probably could have played Junior B if I worked at it, but chose university instead of wasting my life.

Played on my HS golf team in my senior year and we made it to the Provincial Championships. The lowest I ever got was around a 5 handicap. Again, if I really worked at it, I probably could have gone and played Div 2 for some crappy school in the states, but it just really wasn't worth it for me.
