The Best And The Rest 104
I was never into sports as a kid. But I could always swim like a fish. However awkward I was on land, I was confident in the water. It’s so sad that I discovered the joys of sports at an age when my body parts started to decide on retirement. I got into wakeboarding, wall-climbing, underwater hockey, badminton…but too little, too late. I was never known for moderation, so whatever sports I got into, I pushed my body too hard, and I always ended up injured in one way or another. Sigh.
