Not the natural athlete

I never liked PE. I was the kid who missed the ball in kickball. Got the glasses knocked off my face in dodgeball. Got hit in the head with the football. If it's a sport with a ball, I am a total klutz. I once broke my knuckle playing kickball. Seriously. It's that bad. I may have an athletic build, but a natural athlete I am not.

I'm working out regularly and I'm getting back into good shape. I'm proud of that and my growing muscles. I'm starting to feel like an athlete. But I still don't like sports, lol. This past weekend, Dad, Steve, Reid, and Donovan played volleyball. They tried to get me to play. I refused. I sat on the edge of the court and supervised Ella and Chloe. I enjoyed it. I don't feel like I'm missing out by sitting on the sidelines of sports games. My exercise has widened what I'm physically able to do and I love that. But it definitely hasn't improved my skill with a ball or my willingness to play a sport. Yet. Maybe next summer... Exercise DOES improve self-confidence. ;)
