I'm a senior in HS and I used to play varsity lacrosse and volleyball. I was good at volleyball bc I'm 6'4" but I also was a diver so it made it harder to do tripples or inward doubles. I was top ten in my schools section for a year but after I peaked I kinda just let it die. I still take some of my skills to cliff jumping which is a lot more fun. Very easy too if you have proper dive training bc you know how you will rotate and how to spot the water and so on. I don't plan on playing sports in college so I can just ski and skateboard. Don't really like organized sports.

I agree with everything you both just said. I've played baseball my whole life and I still think it's boring as fuck. Thankfully my HS team sucks so we spend more time messing around and having fun than actually trying to win.

Haha you must be one of the "real athletes" I work with in college...

Step One: Commit to a losing D1 FCS program to play football/basketball/baseball
Step Two: Buy embroidered beanie with insignia "D1 Bound"
Step Three: Secure non-starting position on team, so you have more time to post on social networks about how "you're on that grind, get money etc..." (even though you've never had job besides summer youth football camps)
Step Four: Lose all games but one over course of season. (Remember you don't even start on this god awful squad.)
Step Five: Go back to step 3

Lol I hate the kids that buy stupid stuff like that and tweet stuff like "D1 Grind." We are an above 500 team. I will hopefully play a little my freshman year. I also have a real job. I'm on Park Crew at a small hill in Illinois. I do work youth baseball tournaments though lolol.
