I was forced to play sports and hated it
I was forced to play sports and got some injuries that did lasting damage, all to placate a chud family.
Would not recommend forcing kids to play sports, particularly ones with expected contact injuries.
The arts should be a fine alternative.
no injuries but my parents used to make me go out and throw baseballs at me
they thought the computer was useless. i was writing code at like 12 and would have to delete it because it was "breaking the computer"
i was too big and masc bodied to be allowed to do that. jokes on them i hated all things IT related when i tried to go to college for it
Yep, same here. If anything it made me less likely to pursue physically active hobbies as an adult.
Was also forced into it (baseball, such a boring sport only topped by golf) and didn't like it, however I got into playing ice hockey as an adult and I wished so much that I had started playing as a kid cause it's so fucking fun.
E: not trying to advocate for forcing kids into a sport here, more what I was going for was that getting into a sport of your own volition as an adult is way better for being engaged (fuck I would have loved to compete in hockey though)
