Country:  | When I was just a youngster, I played football and baseball, but in the 7th grade I discovered basketball and I played it ever since. I've played against NBA players Spud Webb (while in high school) and also against Ricky Pierce (when he was with the Seattle Supersonics). The furthest I ever went was 2 years of college ball for the University of North Texas (division II).
I was 6'-2" back then and had a 26" standing vertical so I had decent hops, but I could shoot lights out from 20'-28' out. My dad played basketball in the late 50's for the air force, toured all over the world playing different countries military teams, and made the all world military team. He taught me how to shoot. I just killed people standing 5' back from the 3 point line and just buried shot after shot.
Unfortunately, bad knees put an end to it all. Now, at 40 years old, I just play pickup games with us old guys at church. I still have an OK shot, but my knees and ankles prevent me from taking over a game like back in the day. | |

Country: | I used to play football at school, wasn't that bad in goal. I lost interest in any form of physical activity once I became a teenager and gave up. My cousin is a professional though, he plays in goal and kept a clean sheet against Manchester United | |

Country: | He plays for the mighty, erm, Exeter City. But they didnmanage a goalless draw at Old Trafford with him in goal. He's only about 19-20 so plenty of time for him to move up the league. Was certainly weird seeing your own cousin who you played football with as a kid live on national TV! | |

Country:  | Already 10 years of Basketball in my home town.
In the winter I can be found riding my MTB on the fields of flanders (well actually just some fields in Flanders not The fields, you know  )
For the rest in my spare-time:
-Swimming
-Fitness
-squash
-Running
-some good old soccer or football (just with mates nothing in competition)
-and every day from home to school and back. 25 kilometers on my bike.
I think that's about it.
greetings

Country: | geez you get around! 25kms a day is a fair effort.
When I'm playing cricket I'll do 6km by bike and then train. But 25km is massive, you must be pretty fit to say the least!
