We're all good at talking the talk on sport - how about mention of those we participate in regularly (i.e. Train and compete in). Curious to see what others get up to... 🙂 Post below.

6-a-side football mondays and wednesdays
Weight Training
Cricket in the summer months
7-a-side football every Thursday.
Too old and slow for competetive 11-a-side anymore, but played to a good standard until about 5 years ago.
Snooker.
Occasional squash and badminton.
Had a couple of years on the golf course, but found it to be the most infuriating game, so have chucked the clubs in the bin now!
I used to play football in the local amateur leagues until I sufferred a torn cartiledge in my knee. The NHS took seven years to make a fairly obvious diagnosis, so although I have now had it operated on, it's a bit late to attempt to start playing again.
I also played one pre-season friendly for a local league cricket team.

That happened to me about 3 years ago. I went to an orthopedic surgeon and got some MRI scans. He said I needed an op and that I would be out for 6 weeks.
Well, that was two weeks before the Grand Final so I asked him what would happen if I kept going without the op. He said, it will hurt, it might last a while but then it will collapse and I'll need a knee reconstruction. So I didn't get it done.
3 years later and I'm still waiting for it collapse. Although is does hurt sometimes.

Ahh, to be young and foolish!
It's ok if you can keep going, but I always lacked some of the basic football skills and relied on reading the game, pace and commitment. After the injury I could still read the game, but I lacked the pace to be where I was needed, and didn't have total commitment to every tackle as I knew one bad one could be the end. It basically reached a point where I was a liability on the pitch.
