A variety of sports, most of which I wasn't very good at but that's OK. Kids are all hyper-specialized now.

it feels a little like if you're not set to go to college on it, you should quit by high school.. what's the point. - colin May 6, 10:07 2
- If that's the case you should be playing all the sports. The point is to be doing them and to being on a team - JD May 6, 10:18 1
  - i played baseball, tennis, and basketball, but it was all casual stuff, no high school sports. i think it felt like a waste of time at the time.. - colin May 6, 10:31
