Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
I was always picked around the middle with friends. I was known as the kid who would always try really hard, so it made up for the lack of physical gifts.
I went to play in a random pick up basketball game over the summer and I was picked last. That pretty much sucked.

Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
It sucks. I was never first, thankfully never last either.
I always felt bad for the boys who got picked after a few girls.

Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
I can't really remember, but somewhere just after half way, maybe 60-70%. I was the best in the school at basketball, but was always designated a captain so never had the chance to swagger up as I got picked first [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
I was usually a top 3 pick for every sport that we did this, although this was usually on the playground as my school gym class didn't do the pick teams thing. Also, my HS had no gym class, which I was thankful for. I hit my growth spurt pretty early though, so I was always bigger and taller than everyone else, so I was an easy early pick.
Even having "grown up" the whole pick thing still hurts when you don't get picked early. It definitely puts a chip on my shoulder when I get picked in the later rounds for basketball (my height prevents me from ever being the default kid), makes me play harder though. It's pretty satisfying when you have to switch up teams after a few games because you were a late round suprise. I haven't played baseball in forever, so in a fast pitch game, I'd probably not pick myself high at all. Soccer is a bit more intuitive, so I think I'd be ok.

In basketball often it's because they don't understand how terrible they are, or don't care, and turn it over or hoist a terrible shot anytime they touch the ball. You'd rather have 4 people - it's practically 6 on 4 anyway.

Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
Last, always. I had asthma and couldn't run worth a crap.
Didn't get fat until after puberty (ie 8th grade) so that wasn't part of the reason during elementary school. They just all knew I couldn't run. T

Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
I was usually picked first for most sports. Growing up I was fairly athletic in swimming, baseball and football. I was usually picked close to first in sports I didn't excel at like basketball, soccer and ultimate in college.

Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
Closer to the end than the beginning. Part of this was that I was a year and a half younger than everybody in my grade, and my gym classes would frequently have people from a grade or two higher, as well, so I was scrawny and runty as hell. I found it only slightly unpleasant, as I recall.
