I SUCKED AT SPORTS

I played baseball for almost 10 years of my life

I wrestled for 3 years

I played rugby for 3 years

I never was great at any of these sports

I was decent at baseball… I didn’t make my high-school team

I wrestled and was decent but never won a title or a won a tournament

I played rugby but was B-side the majority of the time or a sub

But see the thing is I still got more out of sports than most people did

I never cared about being the best

I just naturally am not athletic

But it taught me what true commitment will do

It taught me that the only true competition on the field or the Matt

Is the one against your former self

Because every season I got better at every sport

I never was the best but I outworked and out performed myself from the past

A lot of you forgot the true meaning behind sports….

Its not about glory, girls, a fucking trophy…

A lot of you guys reading this missed the true meaning of sports

Someone who sets a new fucking standard everyday

But somewhere along the line you fell off

You forgot

You started settling

After sports Brought you to the top, you let your foot off the gas for your own fitness

You gained weight

Now you can’t even recognize who the fuck you are

Its NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU MAN!!!

But I Need you to start getting 1% better from now on, no matter where you’re at

I fucking believe in you homie

I DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT

Baseball tryouts

Finally the day came

I was injured the year prior and I was excited to give the team a go

I was nervous

Before I knew it ground ball came to me and right under my glove it went

Followed by a terrible follow up throw to the coach, that went right past him

I was embarrassed…

That energy carried over for the rest of the tryouts for me

I was just intimidated by these other guys…and I choked…

Next day list of players comes up

I’m excited searching for my name…thinking about how I finally get to wear that sweet baseball team gear

But

I got cut…

I didn’t make it

It crushed me, playing a sport for 7 years and being told not good enough fucking hurts

I went home that day upset and broken…

So you know what I did?

I didn’t have time to sit and mop about my circumstance

I played 2 more years of awesome travel baseball and I was ranked in wrestling my senior year.

I moved on….I got over it

Sometimes shit isn’t going to go out way guys

You reading this I know your struggling with your weight after sports

Sports stopping was your obstacle…you didn’t know what to do after that
