I was on the track team for only one season, and that is the only high school sport I was part of. All the other sports I did during that time were outside of school (taekwondo, hockey).
High school reunion is coming up and I have been contemplating. I’m experiencing a quarterlife crisis. It seems like so many people I know grew up playing sports for years and were high school athletes. They seem so successful and their personalities are very alpha. In contrast, I’m more beta. I regret not being part of the “jock culture.” I feel like I missed out on something big.
Do you think school sports is more respectable than non-school sports? Did I miss out big time by not being part of the “jock culture”? Is it afoul to say you were part of a high school sport when you only played one season?
