P E In Schools

[nailit]

Just been reading Webbo's post in news re: P.E.
Who here enjoyed P.E in school? Anyone NOT enjoy it?
All through my schooling I detested P.E. When we had footie, I was always stuck in goal because I just couldn't be arrised to chase around a big lawn after a bag of air. Hated football (and sport) then, still hate it now.

Loved sport at school and still love it, most kinds too. My regret was that I was an all-rounder and didn't shine at any particular one. I was captain much of the time, both at school and in the Navy, but that was because I was mouthy on the field and not because I was any better than the rest.

I think you'd have made a great captain, Garaman.
Being mouthy on the pitch can be a good attribute in encouraging and supporting fellow team-members.
(just my opinion)

“I was captain much of the time, both at school and in the Navy, but that was because I was mouthy on the field and not because I was any better than the rest.”

Nowadays they need a captain who’s better than the rest to lead by example with experience just like you’d want a good experienced army general to be to lead the troops into battle.

Mouthy is good but only if you can back it by actions on the field/war zone.

Back to the op, I loved pe, I’m sporty and fit and can’t sit still for long so enjoyed more or less all sports they threw at me, our pe, not exactly pe but we enjoyed street dancing and krumping in dance class which kept us fit and moving.
