FYI, I ain’t from here - city, state or country and don’t want to doxx myself since I represent the 0.1% of diversity where I live

HS: 100m/200m/Long Jump/Soccer champion
College: Technical Engineering Institute so nothing allowed other than technical courses from day 1 to graduation.
AU Grad School: May have taught some well known basketball and football players as part of Tiger Tutors (2001-2004).

Marlins, Devil Rays, Pirates, Cubs.... Was told I had all the tools, just not the size they were looking for. Like what the frick is that

Even played on a travel team with a coach who was the lead scout for the Red Sox back in the day.

Oh the good ole glory days

About the same Chex. Wanted me to move from catcher to 2nd so my speed wouldn’t be affected plus I was a little light back in the day.

Ha ha, definitely not RC, was earning points on a national license and got to race in a dome or two, when I qualified for the main that was a “win” for me.

HS- Soccer and XC

College- tried the AU club soccer team for about a week. Had a 3 PM algebra class and that's what time they started practice. By the time I could get there, they would be mid/end scrimmage. Never got to know anyone, and had zero chance of making the roster since I couldn't ever make practice or demo any skill. (Chicks dig skills)

HS: football and baseball

College: Had a scholarship offer to a smaller school but decided to go to Auburn instead and enjoy a non-busy schedule. It was a late offer to kick and I had already mentally shifted to just being a student. Ended up just playing intramural football with a group of guys that almost exclusively never played football in their lives which was fun

I dated a girl that her brother did motor cross. I hopped on his racing dirt bike trying to impress her, and I almost ended up in the hospital. I was not prepared for the difference in power between it and a factory dirt bike.

I raced for a few years as well. You’ve gotta have a little craziness in you to do it at a high level and I didn’t have it. Ended up having to choose between it or traditional sports.

About did the same the only time I’ve gone four wheeling. The step up from my power wheels from back when I was a kid really threw me for a loop.
