| If so, have you ever gone to competitions or do you do it more as an exercise/hobby? When I was a teenager, I played handball, as a goalie, I wasn't very good at it, but I liked it a lot. I played in some games close to my hometown. Now that I'm an uni student close to graduation I mostly stick to exercising for fitness, however I'd like to start playing some sports again. |
 |
| I did Cross Country and Track in high school and still practice that to this day. Actually I'm faster now than I was then, the other week I ran 12:13 on a two mile trail which was my fastest time ever. Do that shit every day ^___^ |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| I used to train kung fu, karate, swimming, tennis, american football and soccer. I also liked to play ping pong, basketball, badminton and a bunch of other things. I was going to become a soccer player. That was my goal, my dream. My attitude, knowledge and understanding of the game made me a good student according to my coach. I started playing in a team again when I was about 15. I started to take soccer practices again since I started to become fat and depressed. I remember training every single day non stop. I'd exercise or work on my technique at home, running to the soccer field outside my school during every break to practice, train by myself after school on the concrete fields etc etc. to make a long story short i got injured and got depressed again lul. I never had anyone that supported me, atleast not anyone I cared about. Nowadays I just sit in my room and feel sorry for myself. I really believe that I could've made it if the circumstances were different. I know that I should focus on the present and not the past, but it's kind of hard for me to do that since I've been through a lot of other stuff that gave me a lot of trauma. I think playing sports is a good way to make friends, strengthen bonds, have fun, exercise and benefits your mind in a good way. It's been proved that exercise helps your brain. |
| Why woud you even want to know? and yes, Batminton. |
 |
| I play Kubb if you count that as a sport, though some would just say it's a lawn game. |
| “Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it. If aware that another is wicked, say so: Make no truce or treaty with foes.” - Havamal 127 |
| Used to play basketball as a kid for like a year but I gave up on it. Sports were never my cup of tea. |
  “The most shameless thing in the world is political power that can be inherited regardless of ability or talent!” |
| Yes. Where I live I think there isn't any kid who hasn't played a sport in his life. Everyone played/did something. As a kid I did karate, swimming and then settled for basketball for a few years. Then I broke my arms few times and decided to quit(once on bicycle, second time on basketball and third time when I was jumping hurdles that were too high for me while running). After I recovered for the third time I decided to try out rowing and I have been ever since (damn time flies). As for competitions, I competed in basketball but we never had any success. On the other hand I had a lot of success rowing so far. I have plenty of medals on both domestic and international competitions. I quit competing shortly after I started university. I row recreationally nowadays. |

| yep played chess and sipa washer version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sip%C3%A0#Washer_version and basketball and 9-ball pool billiard during high school and nah i only did them as hobbies |
| Played basketball and football/soccer when I was younger. These days, I swim and weightlift. I just do 'em as hobbies. But I guess the former will come in handy when I partake in a triathlon one day. That'll be hella fun!~ |
| I did track as a kid, but tbh it was boring and took away a lot of my time so I do archery now as a hobby instead. |
  "If you want to change the future, you only need to choose now. Now, believe in yourself and break the egg." 🌻 Anime|Manga|Last.fm|Letterboxd |
| The closest thing I've done was taking an archery class for one of my physical education credits in college (the other was hiking) |
 |
| I was on a soccer team in elementary school (football for the rest of you), I was breifly in a jujitsu class as a kid too, in middle school would play basketball but mainly games like thunder and 21 or horse, also tried skateboarding but had no where to practice so never was good at it, used to bowl but hurts my back because I have a bad form technique, used to have a real nice ping pong table, I play pool occasionally, I jog and run. ..Uhh since heg said chess let's go with that too and wearing sunglasses while I sleep.. |
| I hate sports so much, I don't even watch sports anime. |
 |
| Did football and soccer when I was younger and played high school and AAU basketball till last year. |
| Used to do a buncha different sports. Used to play football and basketball, then did some freestyle football, then did breaking(breakdancing) for about 3 years. Now I mostly do olympic weightlifting and powerlifting which are also super fun. Sometimes I kinda miss basketball for some reason, even though I'm nowhere near tall enough to be a proper good player I think. |
 |
| Yes, outside of school I did competitive Skiing and competitive MMA certainly winning my fair share of awards. I also did Wrestling competitively in Middle School which I excelled at as well but unfortunately I wasn't able to continue pursuing it as my Highschool didn't have a wrestling team (there was another High School I had the option of going to that did have one, but none of my friends were going there so it wasn't worth it). There were some other sports I pursued in Middle School / High School as well but I wasn't good enough at any of them to warrant the continued time commitment. |
| Lately I just exercise for fun and for the health benefits. I'm not going to any competitions any time soon that's for sure. Used to play a lot of sports back in my school days. Literally almost anything that was available. Oh my... This was way more cringe-worthy than I thought it would be. |
| School sports was all about stupid-ass football, which I quickly started to loathe because it was the only thing we ever played. I've been into Downhill Biking since I was 15 and it's still fun. |
 |
| i used to actively play ultimate frisbee now i just stick to basketball since it's easy to find a bball court and it doesn't take a lot of time to end a match |
I do train karate and I do play beach volleyball every summer that about sums it up. |
| i used to be ridiculously sporty when i was younger, and for some inexplicable reason i played a bunch of really preppy, country club sports which just makes me cringe really hard thinking about now. i was also on the school team for sports like: hockey, lacrosse, netball, tennis... but nowadays the only vaguely "sporty" thing i do is hiking every sunday .-. |
| I played Baseball and Basketball for most of my childhood until about halfway into HS, as sports were getting far too competitive at that point. Nowadays I don't really play anything. I've done some flag football with family & friends a few times over the years during big holiday events, but not much else. |
| I play basketball & Badminton occasionally with a few friends~ |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| I play badminton and stopped Karate when I got my green belt, I don't remember why I left tho ;_; |
| I used to play a lot of AFL (Australian Football) I played competitively a bit when I was about 10ish. r̶e̶v̶i̶v̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶e̶a̶d̶?̶ |
 |
| Soccer. That's it. I tried other sports but they weren't for me. |
| I played baseball (1st baseman) and that was fun for a while. In high school, I got really into kickboxing but music kind of took over my life at that point and I was seriously thinking about becoming a music teacher before becoming jaded and dispassionate about it. |

| Basketball, Cross Country and Track for high school Competitively ran for XCountry and Track as a sprinter/long-distance hybrid. Basketball is more of a hobby that I keep up with :) Taekwondo also, but only when I was much younger. |
  Floating Around... "You're loved as deeply as the ocean reaches"  |
| Swimming. I used to be on the swim team at school and even made it to competitions ( for lack of members xD ) I love swimming and the feeling of pure hunger after swimming, especially if I've done 2 hour rounds. |

| Video games is considered a sport now. So yeah. |

| I play soccer, I used to play for my middle school and was supposed to be shipped overseas but I was failing a couple of classes so that didn't happen. Played for a couple of clubs through out high school as well, now I just play socially in the summer. |
