How many of you were into playing sports but gave it up because of...

[pennypincher]

Still playing volleyball, ultimate and lots of golf. But I don't think golf counts because I almost always cart :tongue:

Not swimming regularly anymore since moving out of my condo. That was a great workout.

Only occasionally playing ball hockey now because I got tired of getting my shins and hands shredded by crazy women (yeah, women!) hacking at the ball all the time.

Are we still talking about hockey here? :shock: :he: :tongue:

Unfortunately weekend warriors like us tend to get injured which is hard to justify when it isn't your living.

Me I was doing MMA training up till my 45th year but now all the years of abuse has taken it's toll.

Wow, how did I miss this thread the first time around?

If you hang out in the sports section at all, you'll notice that I'm still a pretty avid fan of several sports, but my playing days are over. I played baseball, hockey, soccer, ran cross-country, and many others to varying degrees, but a couple of minor injuries near the end of high school cut down my participation considerably. Once I went to uni, I was more interested in partying, drinking and fucking than playing sports.

Fortunately, I still maintain a very active lifestyle, and I've had the opportunity to do some really cool things - climbing Macchu Picchu, cycling from Bruges to Amsterdam, kayaking with whales in Baja... I would never be able to do these things if I didn't stay healthy and fit. So, even if your days of competitive sports are long behind you, there are still plenty of ways to stay active and have fun at the same time. :great:
