We actually did play foosball for a couple of weeks in PE at my old high school.

I could not climb up the gym rope either.

I also never saw much point to sports in school. I enjoyed playing badminton and tennis, but soccer and softball where just dumb in my estimation. We did have ballet two days a week which I enjoyed, but I knew it wouldn’t be much use in my later life. ( I obviously did not go to a public school.)

And I never did learn to diagram a sentence, either. Now, THA was dumb.

He gets the sarcasm from his mother.

I also didn’t like PE in school, but mostly because I was overweight, terrible at sports, and embarrassed most of the time. Didn’t really get into athletics until after I graduated college. Now I can’t get enough of sports. Go figure.

I believe that dead horse has been sufficiently beaten, Clayton

Once I had to meet a friend in Oklahoma City. He was leaving St. Louis at 8 am and I was leaving Houston at 7:30 am and . . . uh . . . let’s see . . .

Clayton, you’ll be just fine. Keep your grades up, get a good education, and start a career in a real, productive industry instead of the professional sports BS!.Oh, and don’t worry about how well you do in gym…

I was great at Tether Ball and Dodge Ball……………does that count?

Did well at Red Rover. Wasn’t excellent at some of the skip rope and cat’s cradle (the big version with the rubber bands tied together to form a 6 foot long loop). But I could still hold my own. But all those are grade school stuff. As I said in an earlier post…. High school gym teachers were not teachers. They were little dictators with whistles and clipboards. And they sucked the fun out of everything.
