Cubers who like sports

[Hazel]

If y'all consider rock climbing a sport, then I fit in this thread! I climb twice a week usually, mostly top-rope but I like to mix in some bouldering too. Maybe one day I'll learn lead-climbing, if I can get over the fear.

I love to watch sports (almost every one of them). As an old man undergrad, I help my coleagues running our College Sports Association and I'm also very involved in Chess Associations as well. As for doing sports, I used to be a Handball keeper a few decades ago., but now I only do chess and cubes

Rock climbing is really fun, I don’t do it as much as I used to though

Today is the first game of the season for our team (Essendon) in the greatest game of all - Aussie rules football. Feliks and I will be there!

Should be a good crowd, too. Good luck - will be interesting to see how Goldstein works out.

I climbed a few times but my forearm strength (and strength in general) sucks and the closest climbing gym is like an hour drive away so I stopped going.

I used to play in a league that depending on the season did either baseball, American Football, Soccer, or Baseball, but covid killed the league unfortunately so my brother and I just do basketball, and I go fishing a lot. I also do e-sports if that counts, and I follow the nfl (go chargers) like any other super fan.

My forearm strength used to suck too. Then I kept climbing, and I got stronger

I play basketball. Trying to become a better post player bc I’m six foot so I need to fill the position well.

I like basketball a lot. But the problem is, I can’t make a half-court yet. I also need more accuracy one my 3-pointers and free throws.

Yeah, it’s fun to try to make half courts occasionally, but 3-pointer and free throw practice is def more productive practice. The probability that you are in a game winner situation where you need a half court is pretty low.

Yeah, I agree with @Running for cube . Half courts are mostly for a buzzer beater, or. a last minute situation, and otherwise just for fun, testing your accuracy and strength. Also @AhsanDaCuber125 you should be able to shoot from anywhere inside the three point line.

I used to play Cricket, but now I'm more interested in Football, because Cricket is a dying sport and its not fun to watch anymore.

Six foot what?

Yeah, but half courts/full courts are also really fun. I've always been a 3-point shooter, and it's huge advantage. Defenders have to either give you an easy 3, or play defense on you much higher up the court, which then adds a lot more opportunities to drive to the basket.

If you want to get better at long range, start close, and work your way up. Say you start at the free throw line area. Once you get good at that, take a step or 2 back, and try from there, and then just keep going until you reach the 3-point line, and by then you should have not only more accuracy on your shot, but more strength to shoot from farther.

Just because your national team is trash doesn’t mean the sport is dying.

I do sailing, I sail on Wednesdays and sometimes on Saturdays, I usually sail Fusions/Toppers but the folk there like to go on big boats altogether, but then we sail for like 30 minutes out of 1 and a ½ hours, I also own a topper called 'Fruit salad st. yopper'.

American here; dying or not, cricket is at the very least a bad sport
