SOL 15- Sports

Image result for Slice of life         I suck at sports and everything involving anything borderline sporty. I don't know why, but I am really bad at every sport, and I really struggle to understand literally anything relating to strategy. I am okay at running and such, but there is something about not being separated from an opposing team by a net that I am just bad at. Year round, the only sport I do is ultimate frisbee. I have done it for four years, but I am still not that great. In the future, I will play tennis. I only really enjoy sports where you are separated from the other team by a net. I feel like it is not quite as one on one, it is more up to you as a team to do well and to return what the other team throws at you. In games like ultimate you need to be as fast as the person you are guarding and as generally skilled as them. This is really hard if you are not as good as them. In games where you are separated by a net, it is easier to have mistakes and points be up to your own team to fix.

Why would you want to watch shirtless men throw probably staged punches at each other? It has just always seemed overly violent to me. Same thing with football. To me, it has always seemed like people running into each other, and then every hour or so they move past the other line.
          Now, onto sports that I like more. I really like volleyball. Not only are you separated from the other team by a net, the points go quickly and there is a lot of volleying not only within your team but also between the two teams. I am in a volleyball matrix right now, and I am really enjoying it because even when we lose I don't feel like it is my fault because I was not as good as one other person. There is a large variety of plays and moves that you can do which just adds to the entire variety of the game. Meh. I guess most sports just aren't that great to me, although volleyball is the best.

  1. I thought you were killing it at ultimate! And I'm with you on football. Volleyball is fun-you just have to get it over the net!

  2. Team sports were never my thing. I am not a competitive person, I don't want to be concussed from slamming into someone else, and I have no interest chasing other people around a field. I am definitely a spectator. The only reason I have even the smallest knowledge of football is because I was in marching band.

  3. Okay. You are SUPER good at Ultimate and I think you are a really good player and much better than me. Boxing actually isn't staged, and neither is Mixed Martial Arts. You are probably thinking of wrestling, because the WWE is totally fake. I'm not a fan of that kind of sport, though, my favorite sports to watch is football and soccer.
