"I never really played sports when I was younger because I'm not really a competitive person."

| EXTREME!!! |
I have said that line on many occasions and I now believe that there are many flawed assumptions in such a statement. Yes, it's certainly true that I never really played sports, not even baseball, soccer, football (aside from a brief exploratory period in high school), nor any other kind of sport. When I was young I never really had the drive to try any of these activities and my parents never had me try because of that. In hindsight, I find that a little strange considering that they always encouraged me to try new things, but I digress.
