Other Sports

I like sports. I've always been decent at everything whether I'd played on a team or not. I just seem to pick things up easily. When I was a kid my parents put me in Olympic Gymnastics and I think that really helped me develop great motor skills and coordination. To this day I can do round offs to back handsprings, hand stands and crazy aerial kicks and stuff. I've got pretty good balance and stuff too. If I see some parallel bars I'll hop on them and make a fool of myself just for fun and I love to think I can still do a pretty good vault. Thankfully I don't often have a chance to test my overconfidence…

I've played soccer throughout my childhood, both indoor and field. I also enjoy and play volleyball, tennis, racquetball and table tennis quite well. I suck at basketball. Don't ask me to watch it or play it. It's boring. I like to golf but I suck at that too. I usually just take a driver and a sand wedge. Sometimes I think I should golf in a bathing suit because I spend so much time in the sand. It's like a beach vacation without leaving town…

I enjoy the cerebral aspects of chess and how it relates to MMA and battle strategy in general. I'm way better at MMA than chess, but I enjoy playing.
