NORTHERN PLANNER

Played some five a side with people from work today, which is a bit tough with the swimming training I’m doing too.  It doesn’t matter how fit I get, I’ll never be any good, good job that fellow players are understanding and more importantly, out of shape.  I can just about escape looking too lame by using speed instead of (absolutely no) skill.

Here’s a thought though, sports like footie are intimidating for people who are not very good, come to think of it, you have to be half decent to play in most sports competitively. Is it fair that being useless stops you enjoying a competitive game? There’s always a bottom division, but what about one where you have to be absolutely useless to get in? To quote Nick Berry, "Every loser wins".

What are you rubbish at but enjoy anyway?
