I practiced my ass off with the other kids but wasn't aggressive enough at that age, my dad also worked a ton of hours so he didnt play with me that much. Well this had gone on up until about 5th grade, before my mom finally pissed the coach off by calling the community league director and telling him my average game time was 4 minutes of time on the court. In middle school I had tried Lacrosse and Soccer, same shit. Politics, coach knew certain kids brothers or fathers, they got the game time and the favoritism. The problem was I probably could have been good at sports but I was never given the damn opportunity to go out there and develop any skills because since 3rd grade I sat on the ****ing bench. By the time high school came around I did not play any sports, nor did I have a girlfriend until 11th grade, and the bitch was ugly, but because I did not have the self esteem to go after a pretty girl I stayed with her. I was not quiet, but very shy when it came to chicks. Besides, I did not play school sports or anything so WTF would they want with me over the quarterback ya know? High school just wasnt as enjoyable to me as it was for most kids, it was a difficult time discovering myself and making friends. The turning point for me was on a day that all the kids met in the weight room for football signups. I was just in there lifting weights, when the time came to go sign up I just never did, I stayed on the bench press. I decided that I was ****ing sick and tired of being dependent on others for my success, maybe I needed to stick to weights because that was all up to me what happened with it. And nobody could sit me on a ****ing bench. By the time I started my senior year of high school people didnt even recognize who the hell I was. I was 190 lbs lean at 5'9", I had gained 40 lbs of muscle my first year of lifting. Girls looked at me, the kids who played football looked at my arms, and complimented me. Teachers spread rumors I was on steroids (even though I was not at the time) I said to myself "Well God Damn, finally something I've done that has been worth a shit and people notice!!" I'd sit in my room until 2am looking at muscle magazines, just wishing that someday I would be in one. Well 8 years later I had an 8 page spread in a national bodybuilding mag. And all those girls who didnt give a shit, and everyone who never gave me the time of day on a team, hehehehehe, I'm sure they saw it. **** em!!! But I'm still that kid in his room at 2am looking at the mags, and still that kid who sat the bench too long. I think this has something to do with it, to be 100 % honest
