Last one picked.

[AUFred]

When I was a kid I was small and not athletic. When teams were picked for sports I was the last one picked and often was the..."Naw, you take him!" kid. I am not athletic now but more so than many men my age. I was actually made to feel good about me this morning. Thursday morning there is a 50 and over bowling league at the lanes. I dropped by just to speak to a few friends while out running errands. I was asked several times by different people if I could sub-bowl with their team today.:thumbup

I was always picked last in gym class. I thought it was funny.

We never had this concept. The teacher would just split us into two sets. Much easier.

 

[jassilem]

It depended on the sport with me.. soccer was always one of the first and baseball, volleyball and basket ball were last.

I am like a bull in a China shop in sports, I got picked when my team wanted someone on the other team injured. :24:

I'm pretty graceful, but I'm combative, and admittedly I used to be a terrible sport.

Ah... I am very very competitive when it comes to sports so.. I was usually on defensive .. Or a goalie.. ... I make a very effective wall.. I was 5'8" when others were still less than 5'...

I was the man behind the plate for several years. I "retired" in 2003 when I threw my face mask at an official and then shoved him. It was a turning point in my life where I realized that I can't go through life acting like that. I miss the game, but I have Umpire training in a few months, so that should satisfy my need to be on the field.

I loved playing sports. Football (American) was my favorite. Lettered in 4 sports in HS. Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track.

I was terrible at sports but its because i didnt have the passion for it when I was younger. looking back now I wish I would have had the drive to play football and soccer as they are my favorite sports now, I would have loved to learn to play

When it was a group of us playing sports, I was usually one of the first ones picked for soccer and football, middle for baseball, and dead last for most anything else. :24:

 

[Olly Flexx]

was never picked last but in saying that i was never far off lol

 

[AUFred]

By the time I was in college that had changed but never was tall enough for basketball

I feel ya, there. I was always the smallest or 2nd smallest kid until Jr. high. My Freshman year I had such a growth spurt and so much strength in my legs that I could spring up and grab basketball rims. I was the Around the World Champion for our JV team because of my outside shot accuracy--even beating out a guy who was 6'5" and I was 5'8"! I went on to run Track and Cross Country for several years and I maintained myself in better physical condition than anyone I know my age. In fact, most think I'm still in my 20s. All fine be me.

Same with me. It is a much better way of doing it, kids are mean!

I didn't do P.E. for medical reasons, and I don't do team sports.
