In high school I dabbled in soccer, wrestling and track and field.
I used to be a very fast runner before SZ hit.

It takes a few days of practice I’m back into as good basketball form as before
Baseball was my sport tho before I had to get hernia surgery freshman year of HS
I had my moment in just about every sport I ever played
Except tennis. I hated tennis
Was good at badminton 
tho
Football (american) was probably was my best sport next to archery. If I was 3 inches taller I’d probably be an NFL running back I am guessing (just kidding)
But seriously no one could ever tackle me in middle school. They called me the bus after Jerome bettis
I’m athletic but unfortunately didn’t participate in high school after I had my hernia surgery
These days walking as exercise keeps me in shape. But no I don’t play sports anymore

I dabbled in indoor hockey.
A sport with a high tolerance for physical agression is a good way to get rid of excess anger, haha

I’ve only done solitary sports like archery. No one wants me on their team because of my heart. I’m slow.

I played basketball for 2 years in junior high in 8th and 9th grade but I sucked really bad and was the worst basketball player ever. This was right before I started smoking weed and getting anxiety and paranoia about getting caught and having weird thoughts.

Before schizophrenia which began at 16, Full blown…. I was the fat kid followed by losing weight by the time I was 14 then I was the quite slim hippie / rock chick / raver
I liked To dance but with a bit of autism and a fat body I wasn’t that good my back is very bad and I was forced to swim
Aged 18 and not psychotic anymore because of tablets…I met a guy who taught me to ski .,
3 1/2 years later meg a guy who told me to surf although I was really rubbish
I did yoga on my own to the point of teacher training… Of course I was no good at that.
I met a guy who had a sailing yacht,
We went sailing most weekends for 3 years
Psychosis took the next three years of my life but still, doing yoga in hospital was the best of my life.
Sorry for the essay I really just got into sports after schizophrenia rather than before
Then I went running on my own for five years… Got to the point of running half marathons every 3 months and was comfortable with the distance
I did push bike cycling for a year … rode 60 miles on a night ride from London to Brighton on the south coast.
Enjoy hiking (not far) wild swimming (a bit) and electric cycling now in better weather …. But not all on the same day

Sabre fencing, HEMA live steel, bowling, archery.
Back in home school, they gave me a physical education fund, I got to play with what was offered in my area with other homeschooled kids.
Was fun. Lost my drive for it the older I got and the more the the illness effected passion and interest.

I started to really get into figure skating in 2018-2019! But then I had a psychotic break + mania, which put me in the hospital. I would like to try figure skating again. I’m a different person now, though. I haven’t been able to get into hobbies since the 2019 episode.

I did many sports but not professionally for money. Mostly basketball and soccer. Once I outran a professional football player who was my friend. He was surprised. I was also invited by a soccer team coach to play in his team and tournaments, local teams, but I refused as I was busy getting good grades in school.

I used to play tennis. I wasn’t super good, but I liked it. I couldn’t do it now because I can’t run, I get too out of breath.
