Enough about me...

Heh, i guess I forgot to mention that. Computer game sports DON'T count.

Soccer is my game - I love it so (too?) much. I play a couple of times a week competitively and watch it (live or TV) whenever I can. I am buying a pocket TV just so I can watch the World Cup whilst at work next month. I don't really have a top flight team that I support, just my local pro side.

SimX - Italy may crush Germany, France, Brasil, etc. this world cup, but might England will stand in your way ultimately (actually, probably not, we are in the group of death). Shame about Baggio - a great player.

I also enjoy snowboarding a lot (you could probably have guessed that one) - more into off-piste and Alpine than freestyle. I try to get away 3-4 times a season at least. My plan is to work a season somewhere, but the contracting market is too flat at the moment to justify 6 months out and it is slap bang in the middle of the soccer season (unless I go Southern Hemisphere).

Tennis and Golf as well - play them once or twice a week. I enjoy most live action team sports though - I always try to catch a game of some sort when in the US.

I actually play some sort of sport most days - can't get enough of them. If I can't play sport on any day then I go for a run.

PS. I'm not sure that Numni meant computer games.

As a kid, I lived in a very rural area with no organized youth sports. But we played "sandlot" baseball, football and hockey. I was a big kid, so usually a lineman in the football games. And also being a slow skater, I was the goalie in hockey. But I quit hockey after getting two concussions (we had no equipment except sticks and pucks).

No one here has mentioned tennis. That's the sport of champions. Go Sampras! I hope Pete wins the French and/or Wimbledon and then retires. Enough is enough, pete!

I really love sports that take me outside. I ski a lot all winter - every weekend. I also snowboard. I mountain bike, off-road, all summer long. I windsurf all summer, almost every weekend. Each summer I compete in a recreational beach volleyball league. In HS I used to compete in sychronized swimming, now I coach it

During middle school it was all about flag football, which we played in the spring and summer. It always turned into tackle football.

While I was there I learned I could run faster than everyone else. So, I went to high school, and into cross country. I would run 3.1 mile races in 17 minutes. It was great. Training was the best, at about 8 - 12 miles a day. (very, very meditative!)

My cross training was mountain biking off road.

I still mountain bike, everyday as a matter of fact. (How else should I get to the train station? ) We have an aqueduct which goes through town so I get my off road kicks on that in the mornings.

I also have taken up Ryu Renshi Dan karate which is a mix of shotokan, isshin ryu, and goju-ryu karate styles.
(I'm making their site now, you'll see it soon 'nuff)

I hate playing sports competitively but for fun I somtimes enjoy street hockey and soccer. I'm a ok defensive player in soccer and a pretty good street hockey goaly (sp?).

Wow. Who could have realized so many computer users (*geeks if you will) actually went outside their home doors for something other than women and grocerys (sp?).
