Soccer - Striker in my heart but often being sent to goal keeping by teammates. Basketball - SG, my 3PT% was better than FG%, hence bench warmer most of the time.
I'm sorry to be the typical American and just not get it, but to me it is the most boring sport in the world. I never like playing it either.
No problem. I find baseball to be the most excruciatingly boring sport in the world. Everyone has their personal interests so it is all good.
They should just rename this thread: "Which one of us has the biggest dick?" Thats really what its all about.
All we need to do is start a thread about what kind of car you drive. That should be a pretty good indication.
4-4-2...not a flat 4 in the back. I hate the flat 4. You will almost always get killed with at team that has outside mids that can cross well. Most teams still use a sweeper, even if it doesn't look like it. There will always be one back that doesn't mark.
I understand the importance of a sweeper to clean up those long passes behind the other backs ... but ... I have problem with the backs not being able to challenge high because opponent's wingers can hang behind them without fear of being offside because the sweeper playing deep. The question is which system is the lesser of the 2 evils or how do you get the best out of both systems?
Huh? In doubles, the best thing you can do is to have both players at the net. Staying back for one or both players is suicide in doubles. If you aren't comfortable at the net, you should stick to singles. Get to the net as soon as possible.......even the receiving player should do so at first opportunity. Anyway... Basketball - always a 2, but played some 1 in high school at times Football - wide receiver and safety, but quit football after my freshman year Tennis - played singles and doubles....but specialized in doubles. Track - pole vaulter.....ugh!!
Football - QB, WR, RB, LB, CB, S Basketball - I played PF/C...but as people grew and I didn't, I became a PG. Soccer - Midfielder, mostly defensive. Goalkeeper once. I played last week for the first time in ages...needless to say, it did not go well.
This system cannot have you playing a zone. It has to be man marking. The mids have to come back. Also, you can slow the offense by playing a semi-agressive offside trap and making the field shorter. As a sweeper, I'm never more than 10 yards deeper than my next closest defender. It's far enough back to get from side to side when the outside back gets beat yet close enough to get foward quickly to get them offsides. If you have smart backs playing with you, they should be tracking back in my place should they get beaten and I have to shift over.
Basketball - SG or SF, played PF if we went small because i had good post moves (i watched a lot of hakeem obviously so i knew how to get the big guys off balance) Football - FB, Slot Receiver, emergency LB (i had 7 tackles in the one game i played MLB for an injured kid, it was pretty fun even though i had no clue what the schemes were, i just went after whoever had the ball), also 4th string qb (good arm, awful accuracy, they just used me if the other 3 were injured or had bad grades, luckily for the team i never played a down of QB in a game) little league sports- baseball - all the OF spots, 1B, 2B, pitched one time (hit 2 kids, again good arm, NO CONTROL, except as i got older i could actually command a decent curveball but the fastball was as good a Hit by pitch or ball every single time) soccer - i was real young so i don't remember what actual positions, i just remember one season my dad said he would give me $1 for every goal i scored that year, and i made a cool $16 that year
For real? Even goalie? Look at all the goalies: Thinking about it already... and BTW, it's SwoLy!!! ( )
Football: Tackle on my 2-5 freshman team Flanker and starting linebacker on my 0-5-1 JV Team (sophomore year) 7th string tight end on my senior varsity team (body weight: 175, bench press: a heaving, panting, shaking 165). I was reciting passages from Cantebury Tales by heart in my AP English class, but couldn't remember my secondary blocking assignment, or 5-yard passing route, to save my damn life. Probably worth noting that my first three seasons were at a boarding school of only 300 kids, where sports were mandatory Freshman through Junior year. Senior year was at a 5A school in Texas, but UIL apparently prohibits Seniors from being cut from a Varisty team, so at no point can I assume that I actually earned any spot I ever had through 4 years of football. Didn't get that letter jacket until senior spring and hell yes I was still wearing that wool & leather coat in mid-May. Basketball: Scowling, angry benchwarmer. The coach would give us a speech before every game and promise that he would put every one of us in, and then he would look me straight in the eye and not call my name. Learned two terrific life lessons, at 15, one about my own limitations, and the other about simply not trusting adults to always live up to their word, intentionally or not. Soccer: I played YMCA Soccer for 6 years, and I played every position on the field, but I was age 6-11, so I couldn't even tell you any of the team names, let alone anything I actually did out there, except eat orange slices. Like anything else those ages, you just go where they point.
soccer- midfielder, defender, goalie, almost all positions football - WR sometimes RB, and for some reason coahces put me on the line a few times, i was prolly the weakest, but fastest player on the team, and they put me on defensive line couple times haha best for last : basketball - i played pg, sg, and sf for my school team, but i dont mind wat position i play as long as i am playin, basketball is my life
