I pretty much realized by Middle School (6th grade) that sports weren't for me despite having fun playing them on the playground in Elementary school. I instead started fostering a lifelong appreciation of music as my extracurricular activity. This is probably because my dad was very musical and never showed any interest in sports. Growing up I never played ball with my dad, but I would jam with him and his music friends regularly. In middle school I hung out with a strange blend of jocks, nerds and punk rockers and never felt like I missed out on friendships because of my lack of sportiness. I don't feel like my life is any less rich because I chose to not be obsessed with sports. My wife who grew up with a sports fanatic for a dad gives me shit sometimes, but I try not to let it get to me. I can now enjoy my passion wherever I am, while I work, while I'm exercising (blah!) and I have a hobby (playing guitars/drums and listening to music) that I can do pretty much until my deathbed.
