This question made me think back and realize my decisions were not that dumb.
Football and wrestling: highly dependent on coaches as far as how much fun we had. Football gets all the love. Wrestling success for me all depended on what I put into it.
Life lessons, if I think that I have to work harder than the other guy I get better. If as a result I start thinking I am good, the opposition gets better.
Doing things is better than not doing them and wondering what could have been.
I tried... I was 120 lbs soaking wet. Which is to bad, because I think I was okay at the fundamentals.
I didn’t play but if I could go back I would focus more on track and field
I was naturally good but never worked hard at it to take it to the next level. I miss it now and watch it as much as I watch football.
All in all made it out okay. Got a music scholly and no real lingering ailments
It takes a long time to learn that lesson.
If I could go back...I wouldn't. It's never as good the second time.
I wish I could go back and start playing golf at a younger age. I picked it up in graduate school after the baseball career was over. I ended up really enjoying practicing, got my handicap down below 0, made a cut in a Hooter's tour event. I'm quite certain if I'd taken the game up earlier I could have done a little more damage.
I always thought about golf being a great non-contact sport to take up. It wasn't until after I started playing did I realize it was a contact sport. Club face contacts ball which flies off into the water. Club head contacts ground in disgust, Club shaft contacts knee in further disgust.....
Ghost protect those knees. Use a tree.
Oh, it wasn't one of mine. It belong to the course ranger who stopped to tell me to quit slamming my club in the ground. More than likely why that particular course would never accept a tee time from me ever again......😜 (JK)
And back on topic, knowing now what 12 years of playing football does to the body, I would probably try out for the golf team....
