Greatest Personal sports moments
by Ok, so i'm not a professional athlete. I was tempted when i was younger, but then i sprained my ankle and fortunately my obsession passed. But i have two defining moments as a young man that i will always remember.
In fourth grade my favorite thing to do was play dodgeball. I used to go home and throw a folded slipper into the radiator at home. I couldn't throw really so it was a stretch. But I loved it. We played 'bronxball', which was dodgeball with a bowling pin which had to be protected. So one day my team (or class, of only three in the grade) was depleted of all the boys and the other guys ordered me to protect it. Dean, the coolest guy in the school was on the other team and the hardest thrower. He wound up hurled it and I caught it. NO ONE could believe it. There was silence. Everyone stopped and stared, then the next guy threw it and i caught that too. from then on i was the best defender in the grade, and it was the pinnacle of my elementary sports career.
The next is when i hit a tennis ball, while playing stickball, out of the park, across the street and on top of my building. i still have the ball.
Any for you guys?

I used to play soccor in a league as a kid. I think I was about 8 years old. But the last game we played I scored the winning goal. We got trophys, it was fun.
I held the record for the arm hang in Middle School from 6th grade till 8th grade. It was finally beaten by my friends brother. He was slightly shorter then me and a few pounds lighter. I remember our teacher had us go head to head for the title, he beat me. :)
One time while playing ice hockey I pulled this great defensive play to knock the puck away from someone and out of the zone. I beat everyone to the puck and had a break away. I didn't score but my team mate got the rebound and he put it away. But I was the one who created the opportunity. Great play.
I used to play soccer when I was little (elementary school little) until I realized that there was a magnet in my head that made balls hit me in the face no matter how far I was standing away from the playing field. Regardless, I was playing goalie one game and this girl kicks the ball right at me and I didn't move. I thought we lost the game and I was looking into the net for the ball when someone told me to look down. THe ball was wedged right between my feet!
i was playin basketball for gym, and it was like 5 on 5, and i had the ball, i was near the 3-point line, it was game point, the coach blows the whistle signaling us to go to our lockers and change. it scared me and i looked back, and so i'm kinda nervous now, but i turn around, and for a split second i concentrate on making it in, and i did! it was a great close game
i was goofing off in gym one time and i lobbed a basketball from half court and it went in. i was like, "hey, cool."
