Put me in coach

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

As a kid I liked playing baseball, volleyball and football (with my cousins). Very much disliked soccer, (all the running) and basketball (I could be as wide open as the mouth on Jaws and NOBODY would pass the ball to me).

In my adult years I’ve done some curling, which is fun to play but like watching paint dry to watch. About ten years ago I played in a rec volleyball league and that was lots of fun, not even sure why I stopped. Our team was not at all serious, just a bunch of goofs so nobody got mad when you messed up. We all messed up.

I don’t make time now for any sports but if I did it would be either curling or volleyball in winter and golfing in summer.

As for watching sports, I don’t mind watching hockey on TV or in person. We went to the arena last Saturday and watched Cordy’s ex-bf play in a tournament.

Clint will actually sit and watch curling and I don’t know how. It’s so boring and slow. But I find watching MLB on TV the same way. Like those guys are pros and they’re always walking. I’ll watch for fifteen minutes and maybe see one guy actually hit the ball and get on base. I’m not saying I could do better but…

  1. If I had time to play anything, i’d probably choose pickleball. But then again, weightlifting scratches the itch to be active. And the quick stops and starts may be hard on the “more advanced” joints.

    1. Pickelball does look interesting! And I do like weights as well, I was always wayyyy more weights than cardio oriented.
