RE: The freak show

in #life7 years ago

Being a dyed-in-the-wool introvert, I never liked team sports. I was always more into the sport for the self, horses, tennis (not doubles), skiing etc.

I did, however, have one semester of women's rugby at University and met the most amazing people. My friends and I were the 'straight girls' of which there were 4 of us out of 20.

We had the best time, but I did not like my own attitude when I was playing. I found an odd aggression that came out of me and rugby is a pretty aggresive sport.

I hung up my cleats after one season even though my team and coach (a funny little Welsh man) begged me to stay in. My tall stature made for a good rugby player, but I never want back.

The only team sport I tried and LOVED was polo, as it combined horses and tradition. It is an expensive sport, though, so sadly, it's been awhile. I would do that again though, in a heartbeat.

I didn't like the pressure with team sports or should i say failure - leting people down. I did enjoy badminton - but i had a great team i knew very well. And thats sort of it...i dont have that agression or the sports didnt bring it out. I often even faked excitement for the sake of others lol. But its more or less the same with all group activities....even partying. It doesnt help me that i dont drink. Maybe that would make me feel more in the zone and bonded. :D
