sports sport sports

When I think about my life currently, there really aren't a lot of sports in it. But when I was six I was involved in lots of sports, tee-ball, tennis, basketball, gymnastics, ice skating, even though at that point in my life, my parents basically forced me into all of them. It didn't take my parents very long to realize, after I began throwing fits because I didn't like how the tee-ball uniform looked, that a lot of sports just weren't for me, so eventually I quit everything.
Then, when I was in seventh grade I went back to figure skating, purely just because I had recently quit dancing and had nothing else to do with my time, being a 13 year old with no life. But once I got back into it I quickly picked everything back up and, unlike when I was skating in first grade, I actually enjoyed it. I've been figure skating ever since, although my time on the ice has been cut down recently because of school and college apps and everything. I'd like to think that in college I'll be able to find time/find a rink so that I don't completely lose everything I've been working on for the past six years, but I realize how rare it is that a school offers skating, much less have a rink.
So besides skating, I really have no connection to sports. I mean, I enjoy watching the cubs play, and of course watching soccer (....players) but I'm not really personally involved in anything else.
