Athletic Cubers

[baseballjello67]

I play too much cricket. Too much.

 

[Abram Grimsley]

I'm more of a Frisbee guy. I'm retired from baseball

 

[IsThatA4x4]

I don't really do that much
But
I did start sailing about a year ago and it's fun

I've never really liked any sorts of the sport I do in school like (bear in mind I'm in UK for these names): Football, Rugby, Hockey, or Cricket
I'm not physically brilliant myself so that could affect my opinion (it probably does) here, although I've never really liked the atmosphere around/of rugby/football particularly, and it's always nice when a sport is accessible to anyone regardless of their physical strength, it seems to create a nice community.
I hope none of what I just said here is controversial enough to spark debate but I never know with these things...

I'm a dancer! Dance is a fun sport.

and yes. dance is a sport. dance. is. a. sport.

 

[Tecknet]

I'm a skinny kid with pretty good stamina, and cricket is all I play for an actual club(used to), I would play football, but it's not for me, all the other sports are meh... I'm more of an inside guy anyway.

 

[Abram Grimsley]

I don't really play Frisbee professionally. Just at home in my backyard

 

[LukasCubes]

im in baskketball and track, planning to do cross country, used to play baseball but quit

 

[Ayce]

Track, Soccer, and Hockey. I like each of them for their own reasons.

 

[LukasCubes]

I got a serious question, Why are there very few cubers that play contact sports. There is only 1 guy I know that has played contact sports and also cubes (he doesn't anymore)

basketball is a contact sport i play it

 

[Ayce]

basketball is a contact sport i play it

Hard contact, like football, hockey, or rugby Almost all sports have contact to some level. While yeah basketball is contact, it doesn’t compare to hard contact sports.
edited because I forgot rugby existed

 

[Ayce]

What position do you play in basketball?

[Humble Cuber]

I do track and field at my high school primarily focused on High Jump, however i do run the 400m as well and used to be a 1600m runner before quitting due to a many month plateau of being unable to break into sub 5 times (5:03 PR)

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I play softball on a travel team and for my high school, and I also used to play basketball and I did dance one year. I also played baseball for like 6 years before I switched to softball.

 

[Puzzlerr]

I checked Basketball, soccer, football (american), track, ping pong, and martial arts (karate, read bio)

I have done all of those in an official "league" on an actual team before (except ping pong, I just play for fun at home.) But not track, I said that just because I like to run timed miles at home. I am currently doing karate, but not competitively, purely for self defense. And I love soccer and am considering playing for a local team. The reason I don't really play team sports anymore is because when I play with friends in any of those sports I am one of the best, but as soon as I get on a "real" team I start to suck. Maybe it's pressure, not sure. Anyone else have that problem?

If anyone has any tips on getting better at timed miles pm me. My best time is 7 minutes 36 seconds (pretty bad, I live in Florida so it's too hot to do it too often)

 

[SpeedCubing RDJ]

I play softball and soccer and a lot others but yea im pretty sporty.

Go on long distance runs regularly,(5+ miles) and sprinkle in some speed work. Racing tips, learn how to control your pace. On the second lap, pick up the effort, ive thrown away a good pace several times because I feel like i’m going fast on my second lap but in all actuality it’s a really bad split. Always pick up the pace on each lap, you won’t notice how tired you are until it’s too late to save your time.

I played soccer on a team when I was 5 and our team's final ranking was 0-12. 0 Wins. 12 Losses. I was so proud of that trophy.

I also played softball one year, 6-6, shockingly good for having me on that team.

Now the only sport I play is running. Slow running.

how do I run the long distance runs without getting too tired? I can barely run a mile without stopping

Its all about practice! Slowly, (and I mean slowly) work your way up to long distances.
