ABSTRACT

When I was a kid and teen, my mom made sure that every year I learned and practiced a new sport, even though I wasn’t so athletic. So, I got enrolled in swimming, basketball, volleyball, running, you name it. Sometimes it was a lot of fun, other times it was just okay, and other times, developed a collection of bruises. It was only when I realized how much I enjoyed swimming that I got a kick out of it for years. What about you? Did you grow up practicing sports? Are you still doing so?
