[Noveson]

Anyone on these boards exceptionally good at another sport? Do you guys regularly play other sports, or just tennis?

 

[Heavy Metal Tennis Star]

played varsity basketball, soccer, and boxing

 

[drhopz]

I used to be on the JV basketball team. I still play some ball once in a while just for fun.

 

[thejackal]

varsity ice hockey in montreal and vermont

 

[diredesire]

I get by in other racquet sports, but i'm pretty bad at soccer and basketball.

 

[Polaris]

Not exceptional at any of the following, but I enjoy (or have at some point enjoyed) these:
1. Cricket: Good batsman, good fielder, horrible bowler
2. Badminton
3. Table Tennis
4. Roller-skating (with the traditional 2x2 wheels). I am uncomfortable on inlines.

Cricket was the sport I was best at. I played for Staffordshire under 18's against Durham under 18's when I was 14 and took figures of 4-12 including getting out Steve Harmison's younger brother Ben which was amazing.

I play pretty much most sports but those are the ones i'm best at.

[zapvor]

Does Poker count? How about videogames?

Ok, I seem to be pretty good at table10is/ping pong. But isn't everyone who plays a decent level of 10is?

 

[Mr.Federer]

Basketball...that's the reason I haven't played tennis for so long.

 

[dave333]

I'm a cross-country runner.

However, most of the players on my team play soccer.

My sister is on the cross country and track team for Oregon State. She is down running at Stanford right now.

I play varsity basketball, which is my first sports, am pretty good at ping pong, and play ultimate frissbee once in a while for fun with friends.

[Andres]

Played two seasons of professional basketball in Argentina. I still consider myself a bball player rather than a tennis player.
And I got a decently high ITTF rating as well.

My parents tried by all means to get me out of the house as much as possible; in this case, playing sports. I was pretty much the Devil when I was a kid

A good and tough defender. Nothing else
I don't have any handling skill

 

[AgassiFan12]

I played varsity basketball, was All-state soccer in high school and played soccer when I was in college.

After high school tennis I didn't play the game again until my senior year of college, and I haven't stopped since then. I love the game! I have gotten myself to 4.0 (self-rated) by only playing if lucky once a week with no formal lessons.

 

[ibringtheHEAT]

football (parents don't like me playing it, I got hurt a lot and would gain weight purposely to get on 1st string)

hockey (I'm banned from 3 of the area rinks, so I can't play on the high school team)

 

[vkartikv]

Used to be a very good seam bowler in cricket until 3 yrs ago. Tennis took over then.

 

[edmondsm]

football for me. the real one.

Who's your favorite quarterback?

 

[edmondsm]

Played competitive soccer for many years. Even winning the state indoor championship at one point.

NO, not in Wyoming.

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you?

 

[topspin_17]

I'm good at any racket sport, I play football for my school team (best team in Bangkok out of all the international schools), and I'm a pretty decent pentanque player. A fun game to play, indeed.

 

[Andres]

How really good are YOU, actually?? :mrgreen:

 

[DueSouth]

Sailing and Cycling

 

[backcourt]

Skiing, raced in high school, then went to college out west to ski powder. Also enjoy, but am certainly not accomplished at golf and the occassional street or mountain bike ride.

 

[diegaa]

Im not even near a pro, thats for sure. Im humble and will say no more.

 

[oscar_2424]

btw i also play midfield people use to compare me with Roberto Donadonni!

 

[Caswell]

Surfing. With that, tennis, running, and the gym there's not a lot of time for anything else outside of work.

I play softball with some guys from work, and while I'm a solid part of the lineup and our team is very strong it's more of a social thing than competition for me.

Yo estuve en Mar de las Pampas en Marzo. Viste ese famoso Camping!? Bueno, fue ahi en Mdlp.

Yo ***** muchisimas ganas de ir a Baires. De hecho, si me conseguis un buen laburo, hasta me puedo mudar para allá. Ahora ando complicado de dinero (me deben una guita de un laburo, todavia), y estoy contando monedas para comer... y el hecho de que tmb me ***** que quedar bastante tiempo en casa cuidando de la perra, que anda medio chota, me quita tiempo que podía aprovechar en laburar algo mas.

Pero APENAS pueda ir a Baires, te voy a pegar un tubazo.
