Let's self hate

 

[GymWolf]

Soccer i guess?

I knew i was pretty bad so i only played in defence and use my size for very physical tackles.

My only positive side was that i was always in defence while the other defenders went into attack mode because they really didn't wanted to play in a defence role, so i was useful during counter-attacks, i was the murasakibara of soccer but without the talent

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Soccer

 

[Kilau]

All of them.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I only played football(soccer for american bitches) and ping pong and I was just mid at both. I tried tennis but didnt like it that much so I guess that? It's been many years since I've done any of these though. Kinda miss it. Maybe I should check out a squash place but they're kinda expensive.

 

[kanjobazooie]

E-sports.

 

[Unknown?]

Bowling. A score of 100-120 is a good day for me.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

All of them.

 

[Fermbiz]

All of them basically. But one that I really suck at is basketball.

 

[DaciaJC]

I am decent at soccer as defender.

I never cared for basketball.

I refuse to consider golf a sport.

[Ristifer]

If I get to 50 in bowling, I'm ecstatic.

 

[dave_d]

I'd have an easier time naming a sport I was actually good at. (But hey, at least I was good at one thing, wrestling.)

 

[DKehoe]

Horseracing. Those horses are just so much faster than me.

 

[AJUMP23]

Jali-hali. Hi ly


I never felt good at baseball. Although I hit and played first base.

 

[Baemono]

All of them. I'm only good at lifting weights, so I have a physique of a fake athlete, I don't even have stamina to run for a long period

 

[Sardaukarama]

All of em , I like to think I'm pretty good at fishing though

 

[Fbh]

The only sport I ever felt like I was above average at was Table Tennis.
In that I could at least keep up and sometimes beat the more athletic kids at school.

I sucked in everything else and never really got into sports after Highschool. My exercise is basically just working out at the gym.

 

[KrakenIPA]

Basketball, I can throw a mean no-look bounce pass but after that I can't do anything on the court.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I'm amazing at all sports, cept table tennis, I'd always wind up hitting too hard; I was average at tennis but kind of the same problem there.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I was always super shit in volleyball and I remember I hated how back in school we couldn't pick which sports we'd like to play.

Oh boy i forgot how fucking shit i was at ping pong, way worse than soccer...
But i was decent at tennis

 

[ssringo]

At this point in my life? All of them.

When I was in good health/condition? None of the major ones. Unless you want to count stuff like golf or bowling but none of the more physically demanding ones that people think of when you say "sport".

I know I feel comfortable on this forum for a reason. I'm with my people. but yeah, same here. all of them.

then just imagine you're playing tennis, but on a table.

 

[touchfuzzy]

You're on a video game message board...

It should be "Name a sport you're at least passably good at"

 

[Artoris]

I think tennis is something I was not that good at was much better at ping pong

 

[GymWolf]

Completely different for me, ping pong has way less margin of error and you need to have your technique on point to even keep the ball in the court in a shitty exchange, tennis is far more forgiving.

Smaller camp, smaller racket, smaller ball, less time to see the ball coming at you, even the grip and how you hit the ball always felt not as natural as it feel in tennis.

I guess this vary from person to person.

Yeah because people can only have one hobby...

 

[Kacho]

I always sucked at basketball. I lack the coordination needed. That's why I did wrestling in the winter.

Some people think everyone posting on a video game board is a forever alone weeb that had no friends / social life, and didn't participate in sports.

I used to be good as a kid. I tried it a couple of years back at a party from work and managed to not hit a single pin lol. Yes, I wasnt drunk.

This has always been a thing that annoyed me to no end.

But i'm an old school dude, i really dislike people thinking always the worst about gamers when in reality, all kind of people play vg.

I know it's cool to shat on our hobby tho.

I think a lot of times it's projection.

No i think the topic was about the past, at almost 40 years old i'm sure that i'm not good at stuff that i was good in my 20s.

 

[Pejo]

Bowling. I do ok at first, but the longer I bowl, the worse I get, then I get angry, then I get even worse, then angrier, etc.

 

[GymWolf]

i was pretty good at bowling, our class in high school used to play bowling almost every day instead of going to school for the first 2-3 months of the year

Bowling and billiard (pool for americans?)

 

[Trogdor1123]

I used to be good at most sports but now I'm old and fat. So… everything I guess?

I bet there is a decent number of athletic people here, or used to be that way anyhow as some of us age

 

[MastAndo]

Hockey. I never bothered learning how to skate and the one or two times I tried were a disaster. I'm surprisingly decent at all others (or was), despite being cursed with a lack of athleticism.

 

[Rush2112]

Saying you're bad at a sport is kind of a soft brag because it means you might actually be good at some other ones.

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

Probably most of them. I used to play for a lot of school teams back in primary school, football, cricket, rounders, cross country, that sort of thing. Our cricket team made it to the finals of a national competition and my place was given to another kid because he never got to do anything and they felt sorry for him. I never played another minute of any sport for them after that, then I went to secondary school and discovered drink, weed, and girls. That was much more fun.

 

[dave_d]

I could point out how comically bad I was at baseball. (Sorry Heisenberg) In school on only one occasion did I finally manage to hit the ball. The bizarre part of it? While running toward first base the ball came down and hit me in the back which is an out. (If it wasn't for that I would have actually got on base for once.) I'm literally the only person that I've ever heard of this happening to.

I have never heard of that even happening in all honesty

I know I am biased but the two hardest things to do in all of sports is hitting a golf ball straight with proper distance and hitting a round baseball with a round bat while someone is throwing it 100 mph and doing it 3 times out of 10 every time.

Looking back on it the amazing part is the gym teacher actually knew the rule that applied off the top of his head. (He was a nice guy FWIW. He was the type of gym teacher people actually liked.)

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Technically every olympic sport because there is someone out there who is unreal at their day job.

I have Track & Field experience.

 

[Ensoul]

Every sport besides basketball.

 

[thief183]

I am quite good at all of them but at the same time I don't excel at any.

That being said, I really suck at tennis. Holy shit I suck at it.

 

[Idleyes]

I'm trash at all of them, every sport. But it doesn't bother me. I don't even get mad when people assume I should be some kind of athletic prodigy just because I'm Black. I mean, that'd be like an Asian person getting upset that folks think they're math geniuses. Could be worse, people have assumed I'm great at robbing houses or lowering property values. So if you wanna think I'm secretly Jordan with bad knees… I'll take it.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I could always hold my own in most team sports. But anything to do with long distance running I'd be at the back of the pack. Like way back among the last 5 people in a gym class. On the plus side, I know for sure I was never dead last. lol. Always been a shitty marathon/distance runner. Oddly, in my younger days I was actually decently fast. But I got zero stamina and my shins would always hurt in the first couple laps around a track. lol. I must have shitty legs or too fat. But they never hurt if I play team sports or walk. Just in distance running.

Best sports probably fighting in school, hockey, shooting long bombs in basketball, squash. And decent at bowling even though I only play once every bunch of years. I'll occasionally play with friends and fam and get 130-160. Not great, but decent enough. My high is 190. The key to getting a decent bowling score isnt even shooting straight or hoping to get some strikes. Ya, those are important of course, but nailing spares is what will keep your score up. And making sure your first shot in a frame is always good. Pro bowlers will gun for tons of strikes while the avg Joe Nobody isnt going to be getting 8+ strikes in a game like a pro. We might get lucky and get a handful, but getting lots of spares to boost the score is key. Once you get a bunch of open frames or some shitty frames you only get 2 or 3 pins on the first shot screwing up how the scoring multiplies with strikes/spares, youre bowling score will never be great.

 

[thefool]

Probably golf because i never tried it.

 

[jshackles]

All of them!
