What useless random skills do you have from playing youth sports?

I can still eat a whole bag of Big League Chew in one serving.

I can still take a smack to the back of the head from an adult’s open palm.

Difference is I can now retaliate.

Played youth sports and can still throw baseballs, football, shoot basketball, swing clubs, etc. pretty well. But one thing I can still do is cast a fishing line with some accuracy. My dad was a big bass fisherman and we would fish some tournaments together. He would make me practice in the back yard with buckets, bowls, etc. and place obstacles to get under or around.

I can not look like an uncoordinated doofus doing pretty much any standard sports activity. The amount of people that look ridiculous either kicking a ball, throwing a baseball, swinging a bat etc is baffling to me. I was never an elite athlete and I just don't get how some seemingly simple movements are so hard for a average joe.

All of this. I certainly wasn't an elite athlete, although I did quite well in a few sports when younger----particularly boxing, football and running.

Let's just say I wasn't the guy that got picked last when picking sides in pick-up games of football, basketball, baseball, etc.


So many kids today would rather stay inside playing video games on a computer and if they do try physical sports, they look like spastics they are so uncoordinated.

Grab a beer out of the team water cooler and give to the coach/my dad.

I'm not talking about an ice chest. One of those igloo orange ones where you press the button at the bottom to pour the water in a cup.
