What is your greatest sports accomplishment that you achieved? - Page 4

Redrum_69 · 04-24-2007, 08:16 AM

Just like the subject states. Lets hear your accomplishments.

Did you score over 40 points in a basketball game?

Four touchdowns in a high school or college game?

Have you directly affected a close outcome in a game: blocked a field goal attempt, tackled someone before they scored a td, hit the game winner with a full count in baseball, etc etc

By the way, scoring on my mom doesnt count

Nice work, Al.

Made it all the way to the Soccer State finals when I was 14. Lost by one goal......I've never seen so many 14 year old boys cry like little bitches.

The state.....South Dakota.

I've done a few things.

I've thrown a no hitter

I've hit a game winning 3pt'r against a cross town rival in bball.

Hit a grand slam as well.

Most of my accomplishments were in track. I was a sprinter. Heh.

But I've played a good bit of football, softball, volleyball, and golf since then.

I guess the football accomplishment is that I've always been a fumble recovery specialist. If the ball is on the ground and I can get a mitt on it, it's mine. The biggest reason for that is my focus is on getting the ball, not advancing it. Seriously though, I always lead the team in fumble recoveries - as a DB.

Say what you will, but Peg is HOT.

The secret would be to keep her mouth occupied with things other than speaking.....

Oh, and best sports accomplishment - making all three outs in an inning during a softball game as a catcher - caught one pop-up and tagged two guys out at the plate. I always really enjoyed that - went out of my way to pop the runner upside the head with the ball and glove.

Got a couple of RBIs in that game, too. Yeah, I know that's lame, but its all I've got.

What's the scoring breakdown for each event? I've only been an occasional watcher of the decathlon.

**Baby Lee** · 04-24-2007, 10:18 AM

Probably not all the estimable an achievement, but personally very satisfying.

When I played soccer in HS, we were the first soccer team our school ever fielded. We got a new coach, fresh from St. Louis, who didn't know us from Adam. I show up for tryouts, tell him I'm a forward, and he sized me up as his big bull defender. All through preseason I diligently fulfilled my duties as a defenseman.
Then, in our first game, we had the varsity game first, then the JV game. He only played me for a half in the varsity game, so he could let me play some offense [due to my nagging insistence] in the JV game. I scored 3 goals in 5 minutes, he pulled me and told me 'OK, now I see.' I started left wing on varsity for the rest of the season, scoring 15 goals in 17 games.

I once hit a whiffle ball so hard it cleared two backyard fences. No shit.

The points are based on the current world records, with a new scoring catalog put out every 5-10 years.

Here's a website to help you calculate your points.

My strengths were the jumping events, where you can rack up a bunch of points.
