Wish I'd played football. Wasn't allowed to do it.

Beyond all the perks back then, I learned how to really work for something, and I learned what it's like to endure pain.

You're teammates become your lifelong friends, even though you rarely ever see each other.

I also learned a lot about personal fitness, and I still use a lot of the same regiments and techniques today, and it still serves me well. My life is certainly better today, because I was an athlete back in high school. It would suck to have that regret.

As one of the single most dominating two-way players in the history of 2A Louisiana football I can say I feel bad for the nerds that didn't play sports

Must be a sad life to not be as awesome as I am

I wish I had played golf or tennis instead of football bc I wasn't good enough to go next level and I could still be doing the other sports today.

I wish I'd played football. Wasn't good enough in basketball. Quit baseball--decent pitcher but my high school had plenty of good arms.
I don't lose sleep over it but I would do things differently.

I'm glad I played, but I have a love hate relationship about what it did to my body. I loved being in shape and still use some of the routines I learned back then, but the aches and pains only get worse as you age. If I could do it again, I'd do less heavy squats and more cardio.

I don't feel it's healthy to reminisce over what sports I could have played in high school.

Besides intramurals > high school anyday

I regret not taking my line dancing more seriously. If I would have put in the work I would have made it to the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville. But now I just kick arse at wedding receptions and teach lessons at various bars in the Shreveport Bossier metro area. But to put things in perspective, country bar whore trim is the best trim.

Egh Facebook. Originally intended for college students only. I miss that Facebook but the Jew boy sold out and now a couple of Russians have a share of the company. No thanks. You need to pick up a hobby or learn a sport kid
