People of BigFooty - Just how terrible at sports were you?

[WCErevival]

Soccer I was ok. Won best player award one year in my teens but then I just stopped playing. Probably a regret I didn't persist with it

Everything else I was average. Hopeless at cricket.

I'm so s**t my FRIENDS kicked me off our social FRISBEE team. Actually they're pretty s**t friends.

Fricken hell. I never knew people were serious about frisbee. s**t friends of the highest order.

I am s**t at frisbee too. And boomerang throwing (while on tour in FNQ). I am a s**t Aussie.

 

[Handsuper47]

Don't feel bad! Being good at frisbee is an art form, it takes many hours of practice to make sure it comes back to you and hits you in the head properly!

 

[JoseMourinho]

You're s**t at basketball cause you're 4'6"

You probably wouldn't believe this but I blocked a guy who was 6'6. It was hilarious, he brought the ball down to pump it back up and I just whacked it out of his hands before he shot

 

[Extortion Threat]

I played soccer for 5 years in primary school not knowing I was actually left-footed.

 

[ioppolo]

In 12s footy I was one of the two chubby kids in the team, and the second slowest runner, and the weakest kid too. I was usually dumped in the forward pocket where I'm sure the coach was hoping I'd fluke a goal being in the right place at the right time. I kicked 2 goals over about 18ish games.

I suddenly found my mojo in the big games. I was our team's best on ground in a come from behind prelim final win, and followed it up with probably my second best game in a losing grand final.

 

[Unstable]

So close to become AFL grade player, only if I had knew, only if I had knew.

 

[Carl Hooper]

Good at all sports except golf

Can barely hit the little white ball despite being good at other 'stick sports' like ice hockey, cricket and baseball smh

 

[the bee sharps]

7 games playing in the forward pocket in the u14s. 5 kicks 2 handballs 0 Marks 0 tackles

 

[BotsMaster]

Played club basketball from U10s to U18s. Did alright but struggled to grip the ball in later years which impacted my ability. Could have used Travis Cloke's glove

Was okay at Lawn Bowls and footy I gave up during Auskick . It annoyed me that kids who were already playing club footy were also doing Auskick.

 

[the_interloper]

I was a gun at all sports, this thread isn't for me.

 

[04 Durif]

I won the Coaches Award for footy in Under 13's. Im not exactly sure to be honest. I'm not even really sure what the coaches award is for either, any coaches out there to help me out?

You're no good but you try

Golf is so hard, except for putting/mini golf lol.

We used to have this end of year staff game of golf, a workmate was saying how she'd never ever hit a golf club in her entire life, was going to participate- 18 holes. Yeah I don't think she enjoyed the experience that much.

Golf can be fun if you add a few rules that might not be approved by the Royal and Ancient.

If my Dad had showed a glancing interest in me, maybe he could have taught me how to play Golf. He plays all the time.

I was at high school when Norman was in his pomp, and every kid wanted to play golf, it just never clicked with me. A guy in my class turned pro, but never got beyond golf lessons, and the local tour.

 

[Smoooothy]

so, the people running the scoreboard at my grand final on the weekend got the scores wrong...

apparently we lost the GF by 1 point, not 7 points.. how ******* hard is it to run a scoreboard!

sidenote - one of our guys had a rushed shot at goal with 15 seconds to go, if he'd have known we were only a point down at the time, he might have taken his time

Be like the American womens relay team, appeal the result and see if you can win the game next week without an opponent.

 

[The Lemon]

I was good at Footy. I was a great kick. On the run or set shot...i was good. Both feet.

Poor at Cricket. Could hold an end up though and can bowl good line and length.

Golf ok both left and right.

 

[Jane Doe]

Awful at footy. Gave it up after U/13s. I averaged about 1 possession every 4 weeks. Played as a forward but went two whole seasons without kicking a goal.

One time the coach made the team gift me a goal on a silver platter just to make me feel better

I'm quarter-decent at cricket. A bowler that can do some damage when it's my day but my batting is very f*****g bad and fielding is 50/50.

C'mon Keano you are selling yourself short. Your a good bowler. Got a 7 for last season.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

I kicked almost my entire high school football team's score one day.

1 goal 1 behind out of 1 goal 3 behinds

I did something similar in under 12's basketball. I scored half the points in the entire game from both teams and doubled the other team's score.

I scored 4 points. We won 6-2.

I initially read that as scored half the points in the entire game FOR both teams. Which reads more like my primary school soccer career. I could score at both ends, without waiting for half time to swap ends.

1 goal 1 behind out of 1 goal 3 behinds

I almost kicked the opposition teams entire score for a game. They were a player short so each quarter one of us would play a quarter for them. I kicked 2 goals and their final score was something like 2.3.
