Getting back into sport...
So, I havent played football for about a year... played tonight in a competitive 6 a side game. Its not the highest level, but I pulled off a couple of half decent saves and the team played excellent. (I play in goal, too fat to play on pitch to be honest, but Im still at least averagely agile and 80% of being a goalie in 5/6/7 a side is about good positioning and technique rather than cat like reflexes)
It really feels good to get back into it and play well and get a win.
Other than sex I dont think there's many better feelings to pulling off a great save or scoring a goal, hitting a home run or whatever.... getting a pat on the back off your team mates.
Modern life is often set up to be competitive at work, lonely out of it (or at least for someone like me who is quite quiet and not very confident and doesnt do well at making new mates)... playing sports is generally for me one of the best experiences in life.

Feel free to share your own experiences of whatever you still play, at whatever level!
