Have you ever received recognition for a sport?

[ladsin]

like just recently I did a serve contest (tennis) and found out I can hit the ball 120+ I found out that I was the best in the competition and won a prize, the feeling was awesome. same as when I got in the paper for football, I was wondering if you've ever gotten some sort of special recognition for a sport (or whatever) and what it was =P thanks for commenting

Coach's Award in my basketball league my junior year of high school...Champion of the 3-on-3 basketball tournament for 9th grade girls at my middle school...Runner-up in the championship game for my basketball league 3 years...Hitting the target on the dunk tank (that takes skill) and I played this game at 2 different times and I hit the target each time I did it...Chosen to be on the all-star basketball team of my league 4 years in a row in high school...when I played softball (elementary school) I was chosen for the all-star team each year once I got into some of the older leagues when they actually had an all-star team

[ladsin]

cool! =P

I got voted MVP of my soccer team:) ha ha I was so excited when I got it...my mom framed the award too! ha ha this was like in middle school or something.

[ladsin]

lol that's awesome!

[LifeLover]

haha yeah. but I knew I was going to get it (not to be cocky) I was on a HORRIBLE team that year...we won like one game and scored a total of like 2 goals. you don't have to know anything about soccer to know that that's really bad and embarrassing.

[ladsin]

haha I know I used to play soccer and my team was always awful to lol but as long as its fun that's all that matters

[LifeLover]

haha. yeah I agree having fun is the number one thing, but winning every once in a while is nice:)

[ladsin]

tru tru its not fun to lose.. I don't know its all good we should all just chill

[LifeLover]

haha yeah.

I've gotten a few cool recognitions in the past. I always used to win the home run derby at my old summer camp and I won 2 on 2 soccer, archery, swimming, and other titles a few years. I also won most improved player at my basketball camp. Those were all back when I was 13-15. And 120 is really fast that is impressive!

[ladsin]

im really proud of it lol that's the only part of my game that's good though

[Levin]

120? You sure? The pros barely reach that. I bet I could beat you at tennis.

[ladsin]

yup my serve is amazazazing I'm not gonna lie I got some college recruitors that looked at me just because my serve was so high, but I broke my hand and sprained my wrist so my groundys are super suck now it really pissses me off

[Levin]

Alright, I wish to retract my statement. Well except if you have a broken hand, I could probably just about beat you then.

[ladsin]

idk if you can just block the ball back I'm pretty likely to miss it. I was never that great at tennis (highest ranking was 60 inm the state) but I used to play with some national kids, my serve is the only thing that kept me from being an utter laughing stock, I'm stocky and got strong arms so that's the only reason why

[rockgirl7]

Yes, I have about 6 or 7 trophies for softball. One trophy for Model United Nations. And 2 trophies for cross country...

[ladsin]

haha cool... what model united nations? (sorry is that a modeling thing or sumthing else?)

[rockgirl7]

No. There's all these people from around the world who represent their country. We kinda pretend that we're them. We write resolutions saying what we wish to solve and how to solve it. Or improve the situation. Here's more about it, I don't think I'm explaining well.. lol... link

[ladsin]

OH! that's crazy! that sounds like fun =P

[ladsin]

[Opinion Owner]

[ladsin]

[Opinion Owner]

120 for someone who doesn't play much is pretty cool. Its an awesome feeling eh?

[ladsin]

not serving, just getting recognized as being good at something

[swimmerchik]

I was in the paper when I made to sectionals (for swimming) in eighth grade, my relay was the second fastest in our division, and when I won 5 medals (the most you can win at one swim meet) at the conference meet.
