I'm a sports-a-holic.
My main sport was speed skating. I was nationally ranked and had a shot at the Olympic team, but a nasty motorcycle accident shut all that down. For cross training I raced bicycles also.
In high school, I also competed in:
Football
Boxing
Cross country
Swimming
Hi Jump
So what were your sports?

Football
Basketball
Baseball
Soccer
Wrestling
I ended up not doing Soccer or Wrestling in high school because they conflicted with football and basketball. Also dropped baseball as there was not a team in the area at that time.

track, cross-country, wrestling. I did pretty good in track & XC but I was too skinny for serious wrestling. I just did it to stay in shape during the winter. I did win an occasional match, though.

my son in a different school system marked down several school records in swimming. he was on the swim team in college as well.
my local high school's coaches didn't even know what a swimming pool was, i don't think.

Swimming was my main competitive sport, was All American in high school. Started downhill skiing when I was three and did a little bit of racing in high school. Raced bicycles in college.
For non competitive sports I climb rocks and ice and still try and get out on both XC and downhill skis.

Track, baseball, and basketball.
Beat the 30+ year high jump record in high school and outran most of the black kids in sprints and hurdles.
Some white men CAN jump.
And run and throw and kick and fight, as well.
Martial arts instructor wanted to put me on the 3 point low contact circuit. Said I'd do well in forms competition, too.
I told him no.

I'm from Ohio, so I played football, football, and oh yeah-football. Never was very good, but man did I love it. Didn't letter till senior year-mostly a gift from the coaches for hard work and not getting in quite as much trouble as most of my buddies. The letter didn't matter that much to me-I was happy just starting on the JV team. Lots of injuries on the O and D lines senior year got me some playing time. I stepped on my right guard's ankle while falling back to pass block and broke it. It was the most sickening sound I ever heard. I knew I'd never play college ball, as there wasn't much of a need for 5'9" 185 lbs. white linemen.

Only one, gymnastics. I was a ring specialist. RESPECT!!! That takes incredible strength. I loved the rings, but I never could pull off the iron cross; just didn't have the strength.

For non competitive sports I climb rocks and ice and still try and get out on both XC and downhill skis. I kinda sucked at swimming, but I loved it. I was pretty competitive at 200 breast stroke and 100 free; but only competitive, never a star. But I LOVED the workout. We did 2,500 yards in the morning and 4,000 yards after school. That 2,500 in the morning was like a drug for me. It's the one sport that really gave me the narcotic like high after the workout and I was always in a spectacular mood after my morning workouts.
