@gambrel saidSo we could say you were not well coordinated?
Baseball, I broke all my right hand fingers during a summer.
Basketball, I played forward, was too awkward at center.
Football DT was strong but slow

@kevin-eleven saidWhat position in hockey?
Fair. The subject line does have "sports" in it.
But now I remember I also played a little hockey as a kid.

@trev33 saidScuba diving is a recreational sport for everyone, young or old, male or female. It's a gentle activity, not very hard on the body and particularly relaxing. This is what makes diving a sport for everyone. No need to be a top-level athlete - diving doesn't require more effort than walking or leisure cycling.
Nor is scuba diving or floating around with or without a purpose.

@very-rusty saidNot anymore I don't. Plus I doubt we ever had regulation numbers on each side when we played as kids. Probably just two or three on a side. (We were Detroit Redwings fans when we lived in Michigan, but that was half a century ago.)
LOL...Do you know the positions in hockey? 😉

@very-rusty saidI gather that diving also involves knowing how not to drown or how not to let nitrogen bubbles form in your blood (something like that), so it's a little less casual than walking or leisure cycling (where one generally also does not have to maintain peripheral awareness in case of sharks, piranhas, jet-skiers, antique channel mines, or propellers).

@kevin-eleven saidI see it wasn't organized just for fun. We use to do that too on a pond just for fun, but we all had a position we played. I was a goalie in organized hockey but loved to play out in the fun pond hockey stuff. I believe I could have played any position Forward center, Left wing, right wing, Left or right Defence, and of course the position I played in organized hockey Goal.

We use to have our most fun on the pond just playing around not really keeping track of the score. Just having fun! We had boots as our net! 🙂

Played baseball from age 7 to 14. I played soccer when I was 9 and 10. I played basketball from 10 to 14. I played football from age 11 to 22.
Football played both offensive and defensive lines. My best 40 time in college was 4.9 and had a 32 in vertical.
But only being 6 foot 3 and 260, my football career ended with small school college ball.

@kevin-eleven saidWhy would you be out scuba diving in known dangerous territory? Death wish?

@eladar saidTo bad, you sound like you loved Football and were very good at it being able to play both offensive and defensive lines, you would have been a very valuable player on your team.

@very-rusty saidIn college I only played one way. My last year I played center, the only year I ever played center. Made all conference team that year. We played mostly even fronts so my speed helped me reach defensive tackles or getting to line backers.
