>you will never be high school athlete
>>36454410
you will never be born in US where you could play ball.
>>36454410
they cut off the boxing team which I could have joined
>varsity lacrosse and football back in HS
>now have a lacrosse scholarship
It was fun but over glorified. Don't kill yourself over it.
>>36454410
>played football, lacrosse and wrestled for 4 yrs
like >>36454739 said, it's fun. you meet a lot of people and you end up having more discipline than everyone else but it's not that serious senpai.
definitely helps gains though, when i started lifting regularly i got to 1/2/3/4 within 6 months, so there were some benefits to sports
>>36454410
Volunteer to coach a high school team and use your knowledge to help all those youths leave humanity behind on the field and off, then transcend public academia and become a college coach slowly working your way up the school rankings until you're making a mil coaching your old athletes
>>36454410
Played Rugby at high school and still play it. It's a good way to make friends.
>You will never be that cool sportsbro who's friendly to everyone and bangs cheerleaders in his locker room
>>36455813
>who's friendly to everyone
actually in larger schools people who play sports are far from being friends with everyone
Except I was.
>>36455813
I was a friendly with everyone but we don't have cheerleaders in Ireland so it was mainly the girls hockey team I was shagging in the lockers.
>>36454410
I was though. 4 years of baseball and wrestling
Hit a triple off a guy who plays D1 baseball now lol
I'd wreck those faggots nowadays and slay so much pussy.
I was, but I wasn't good enough.
18 here, played varsity soccer for my school.
You guys missed out. Team sports are the fucking greatest. The experience will honestly be a part of me for the rest of my life. I can't fathom into words how amazing it has been for me.
>>36454410
I was, now I am a college athlete.
>>36457615
lol
>>36457685
>tfw not good enough to play for a school team
>Coach Taylor will never tell you that he believes in you
>>36457679
I know this feel
tfw no matter how big you can get, youll still have shit coordination and balls will bounce of your hands when you play pickup football and youll fight back tears after lining up again and again knowing no one will throw to you
>you will never get concussions and injuries that stunt your development and growth for literally no reason at all.
>>36458375
right? Lifting, alone, will give you more time to study, too. I took 2 AP classes junior and senior year because of the extra time.
>>36458048
>youll still have shit coordination and balls will bounce of your hands
>tfw
wtf is this shit anons? i have been doing mma for 6 years and been lifting for the past 3 years but i cant catch a fucking ball. why
>>36454410
i was a forward on the football (soccer) team at university first team. plenty of puss there
>all american high schools have sports teams, football and wrestling everywhere
Meanwhile in the UK if you really want to ask around you can do badmington or 'cross country running'
There's soccer, but that's gay.
God bless America.
>>36458427
England?
>>36454410
>I was a high school athlete
>>36454410
>tfw you need had the abilites to be a varsity athlete
>>36458501
well a yank aint gonna call it footballs he
>>36459379
you ever played against birmingham? is it true they're cunts?
>>36459457
nah i was down south, biggest cunts were the london teams
>>36459476
Well, playing forward means you have to deal with that shit. How bad was it?
>>36458006
what college?
>>36454410
i'm kinda sad that i will never have that stereotypical american highschool experience.
I ran the scoreboard for basketball games and competed in shotput and javelin.
It's not that cool, it wasn't like the fucking movies.
>>36454410
Just got done 4 years varsity swimming, team won a state championship my junior year. Might swim d1 next year.
Practice sucks balls so I'm probably done.
It's nothing special. You could be the best athlete in the school but no-one would give a fuck if you're still a weirdo neet on the inside.
I did swimming, my school was an arts school though and we were terrible at all sports.
>>36459533
you get kicked a bit, but you give it back.
university is a reasonable standard, a few ex academy boys about who gave it up because they didn't have enough faith in themselves.
You could always join 21 jump street.
>>36457995
dont get how there isn't more fnl love on this board. It's /fitfeels/: the show
>>36454410
But I was. Ran track and played football at a successful 4A program in Alabama. It got me into shape, but it also made me crazy. I was always super on edge during football season because I hated hitting/getting hit and it got me super keyed-up for days before and after games. Didn't make me any less autistic socially though. Guys on the team liked me for my work ethic but I was hardly cool and didn't lose my v-card in high school.
>>36458398
You've been doing stuff other than practicing catching balls and you're still bad at catching balls? I can't imagine what you could do to get better at catching balls.
>>36454410
B-but I was. Pic related is me. #5 2009
>>36458398
You can work out all you want but you'll always be a narp
>>36454410
If you do gymnastics like i did, starting very young, you're kind of always a jock even in elementary and middle school, but not in the traditional sense. Most people just hold you in a state of awe if you mention you gymnastics and frequently ask to see. Of course I would happily oblige with a backflip or something stupid especially in high school. I pretty much always have gotten the girl I want, especially now in college where I'm a d1 diver. So yeah not really a jock but kind of.
Best excuse to be manlet ever.
>>36459934
I was on s+d team for 4 years. I've never seen a sport with so many athletes that simply do not enjoy it.
D1 is very very hard they're gonna break you boy
Man, sure glad I didn't join football in highschool I can just imagine if I did
>get several concussions
>IQ lowers and get PTSD afterwards
>cant even get into a good college or even graduate because my shitty brain
>end up working in a shitty blue collar job forever
yeah im good where Iam right now in pharmacy school.
I smoked weed in the announcer's box. A lot.
>>36458950
kek
>>36454410
But I did swim team all 4 years of high school. Even set half the school records.
>>36454410
>did football
>3 year varsity starter
>nationally ranked team
>do college ball
>fuck up knee
>career over
Sports is fun for a while, but it is over glorified. Even if the top 1% of athletes in college football makes it to the nfl, the average career is like 3 years maybe. Most players end their careers before their 30's and don't know what the hell to do with their life afterwards.
Also I know a few incredibly sad guys from highschool who were horrible football players and have no fucking chance of making it to the NFL, but can't get over their delusions. If you don't go to college, immediately try to get a job you can make a career out of for real.
>>36461495
sghs?
>>36457679
Oh fuck, don't make my brain dig those memories back up.
>You weren't even equal to your father, a joke compared to him
I felt ashamed to wear his number sometimes.
>>36463346
>don't know what the hell to do with their life afterwards.
Maybe they should have taken advantage of that free education at a prestigious university or something
>>36458048
Same here. Tried football in 9 th grade, major failure. Then did wrestling and got good.
Just try something else that you like more.
>>36459934
This.
People would liked watching me and cheering for me during wrestling meets and stuff but the next day at school i was just another loner.
>>36454410
Jokes on you, I'm 6'6 and played varsity basketball while my dad was the coach, and still managed to ride the pine most of the time.
>>36458896
I understand this meme
>>36454624
>boxing
>team
?
>>36462845
It's because its just such an over-trained sport.
Any body that wants to be good at swimming can be if they just put in the work.
I'm not a natural swimmer but i spent 2-3 hours a day 6 days a week slaving a way in the pool and i got pretty freakin good. But goddamn if i didn't burnout hard.
Miss those lazy high school days.
>>36458457
Private schools in the uk take rugby pretty seriously.
>>36454800
Which Hart twin are you?
>>36454624
what? you think they only need one rep for the whole uni?
>inb4 what are karate clubs, wrestling clubs, and tkd clubs, and why do they need several members
But I was, nothing special happened.
>>36458375
>Not doing JV cross country to hang out and jog with your bros then bulking over winter to be captain of the jumpers in track.
There's no pussy in pole vault, but it's chill as fuck.
>>36465019
how do you ride the bench at 6'6"? did you just never practice/lift?
>>36462895
>forever being a boring faggot
>pretending like its the better of the two options
>>36454410
But I was, varsity swimming and water polo for 3 years (jv for 1).
That shit was the best, train hard as fuck during water polo, water polo groupies for days and then when swimming came around I'd just swim like 3 sprinting events and nap. ezpz
>>36469728
>swimming
>splish splash ball games
jesus fuck
>>36457679
>I was .03 from states
Why did you bring up these feels
>>36469722
Keep telling yourself that as you remain less successful than I
>>36470091
sports and intelligence are not mutually exclusive attributes.
>>36469612
Grew 6 inches the summer before freshman year, so was clumsy for about a year, Didn't develop a good shot until my senior year, and the team strategy was more run and gun. No one cares how tall your post player is if your offense is based around fast breaks and aggressive defense.
>>36469612
My endurance was also shit. I was off and on lifting (not nearly as often and as hard as I have been after high school) but still eating garbage. I couldn't even run a mile (Now I can do it in 6 minutes flat).
>>36470921
>>36470886
but what about shooting and post moves? damn, anon. did you just drink your way through high school?
>>36457679
UGHHH FUCK I play D3 soccer so shits good now.
>Two friends in the same position are locks to d1 schools.
>Never got as much, PT, starts etc
>Therefore didn't get as much pussy
FUCK
>>36473170
I played D3 soccer too but for a good program. We have guys who could easily have played for D1 programs, myself included.
>>36454410
>you were the fastest kid at a competitive school but, despite insistence of the coaches, you never joined a team or invested time into athletics because you liked videogames too much.
the regrets mang.
>>36473337
Ahhh yes. I can see from your attached image that you are filled with regret.
>>36454410
But I was a varsity athlete in high school OP. In track kek.
one thing i miss about high school sports were how easy they were to pick up and join. Also its much harder to find people to play with it's not an organized sport where schools are against each other. You just joined and got to play. Football and wrestling were my favorite
>>36465052
what is it? highest number = bench warmer?
>high school in australia
>sports oval is a shitty weed-ridden mess of mud in the winter and scorched dirt in the summer
>have a running and swimming carnival every year
>you will never be american and have a huge sports team with actual facilities and lots of people in stands cheering for you
feels bad man
>>36454410
>Was 3 sport varsity athlete
>Now stuck to doing club sport at uni
It's just not the same, but at least I'm way better socially now
>>36471549
Had an awful shot beyond the block. I excelled at defense, but so did the top 7 guys on the team.
Also, I never drank a drop of alcohol through high school. Still don't like it. The hard truth is that I was a nerd all through high school and I shouldn't have been.
>>36462895
>pharmacy school
Yeah, I'm sure you've really got a leg up on Ivy League football players. Believe it or not, they tend to have higher than average GPAs and earn more over their lifetimes than non-athletes.
Git gud at life.
>>36477239
I was a varsity athlete in high school and my first two years of college, but switched to club rugby for my last two years.
The intensity of varsity sports is a double-edged sword. I felt like I had more autonomy to deal with injuries and training with myself as the only priority when I was a club athlete, whereas the varsity program often asked me to overextend myself.
On the other hand, pushing to the limit leads to personal revelations.
> do high school wrestling
> place 3rd in the state
> go to college
> do college wrestling
> feels good knowing I could beat up most men
>can walk around more confidently now
> I am well disciplined and
>have had amazing bonding experiences.
>I had to share beds with my teammates and shower with them.
> I laugh when ever somone else says their soccer/ lacrosse team was close.
3 sport varsity athlete in high school
Virgin until 21 because I had impossibly high standards back then.
Probably my biggest regret in life
>>36478346
What state did you wrestle in? What weight Class? What was your record?
>>36458398
I heard on Infinite Monkey Cage that hand grip and coordination are correlated to IQ in people. Most of the shit I hear on there is bullshit tho, but still you might just be retarded.
There are some studies in macaques that show that with certain kinds of brain damage we approach tasks, especially grip tasks, differently. So maybe you have enough of a deficiency in the hemispheres of the brain communicating that you just suck at smoothly catching something. Or something else that also manifest in dyspraxia. Whatever it is, practice is really the most important thing.
>>36477989
A big part of the selection criteria is doing well at IQ tests and shit. Even in NFL
>>36454436
FUCKING KILL ME THIS IS MAKING ME DIE EVERY SINGLE DAY AND I'M STILL 18
