Are you a sports fan? Do you watch or participate? Which sports?
I am not a sports fan at all. I was never raised to be and I only ever participated in volleyball and basketball at school and when I say school, I mean elementary school. The competition was too steep in high school and I was too intimidated to even try out. In elementary school no one was turned away; which is nice because you can learn some skills and try the sport out in a low stakes situation. I did the obligatory swimming lessons and I did enjoy my skating lessons. I never kept up with either of them’ too afraid of drowning (which is counter-intuitive because you think that would be the impetus to practice) and too afraid of falling and breaking a bone. These are two sports that my son is MOST DEFINITELY going to keep up with. In terms of watching sports; I only watch hockey when my husband puts on a game or we have friends over. But I love watching the Olympics both summer and winter and I watch whatever I can from them. I also enjoy the Calgary Stampede; the chuckwagon races in particular. When my husband and I first got together he was playing slo-pitch so I would go an watch him play. I am not a gambler but I do love participating in the March Madness pool or the Stanley Cup Playoff pool at work. I even won the March Madness pool once, but that was a total fluke. Technically, I won twice but COVID hit and I was the only paid entry so they deemed me the winner.
