I USED TO HAVE A THING FOR SPORTS

This prompt took me back in time, to when I was a big fan of sports. I used to really love sports and was very fascinated by it. In primary school, I was always representing my team in track events, I loved running then. Moving forward to secondary school, I added football to the list of sports I loved engaging in asides running, and I was pretty good at it. We had an interclass female football competition one day and I did so good that the sport director had to come and get my name so I can be a part of the school team. I was almost delusional to start pursuing football as a career but the lack of training centers for females made the dream very distant till I came back to reality.

Right now, I cannot dare to say that I am a sport person because that would be a lie. I love sport but I am not updated about anything in its world. I do not follow sport news or watch it and I also do not even practice it anymore.

However, I have sports I really like and wish I can know so much about them and they are running, swimming majorly. I love football as well but I do not think it's a sport I want to invest my time in. Apart from the fact that I am concerned about how I can catch up in it's vast world, I find running and swimming more interesting as a spectator. For football, I might just prefer being a player instead, maybe I would enjoy it more that way.

Also, football is like a global sport with fans all over the world, it literally steals the whole spotlight in the world of sports. I would rather watch those sports that people pay less attention to, I do not even mind.

If I were to say a sport that I am good at, I would have said running but running small distances these days steals all my breat away😂. It is safe to say I might have lost my magic in that aspect, for real. I cannot run anymore or have the strength to even try, it's saddd, lol. I used to be fast like flash ehn😂. Anyways, I think I would still be good at volleyball, my servicing skills should still be in check till now.

During my last days in secondary school, I played a lot of volley ball and I was really really good at it. I enjoyed it as well and right now, I am kind of missing it. Honestly, talking about sports makes me want to start practicing them again but then, where do I want to see the time? Adulthood is showing me premium shege! So for now, I will leave sport for you all😌.

For running and swimming, I would really love to follow it and invest my time in them. Just like you all do with football, I want to be like that with these two sports.

Thanks for reading ❤️
