GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Are There Any Sportsmen On Gmc?
Posted by: Fre Dec 13 2010, 07:40 PM
Hello guys!
I was wondering, some of you do sports probably. Which sports and when etc...
Can you easily combine it with music and guitar?
I often find it difficult to combine. I practice rugby in a club.
Two times training a week (evening) and one match in the weekend.
I never read much about sport on gmc, so here's your chance to inform us about all your sport activities!! (watching included)
Kind regards,
Fre

Used to be a cat 1 class road racing cyclist and had national trials. Way back I could do sub 1 and sub 2 (25 miles in under 1 hour, 50 miles under 2) sort of stuff. Nowadays I'd probably be more like 12 miles in an hour. I also played rugby up to when I went to uni, mainly League rather than Union. I just relied on being fast 
. Packed in both due to too many injuries and not enough time.
A little OT but my sister in law swam for the UK in two Olympics and her middle son is doing 2012 Olympic team trials for canoeing at the moment. The time commitment for both of them is/was huge. She did swimming before and after school and for hours on Saturdays and Sundays every week. His decision on which University to go to is largely influenced on facilities for canoeing.

I try to get a lot of excercise, but it's mostly in a gym, so I'm not a pro athlete in any way.
Squash, soccer, snowboarding is some of what I do, but it requires other people or a trip to some mountains.
I'll run my first Marathon in May a week before my 31st birthday.

Cool to see you guys are sportish too!
I think it's cool to know each others sports, like that we get to know each others profiles better

Wow tonymiro! That is one sportive familie.
I also fear every rugbymatch that I'll break a finger.
I leg wouldn't be that bad because then I'll still have my guitar.

I go to the gym regularly and I love running. Next year, I wanna finish a semi-marathon (21 km), the training has already begun...
I also play squash and soccer once a week with a few friends of mine.
Posted by: superize Dec 13 2010, 09:16 PM

Practise 3 times a week plus 1-2 games in the weekends.
I have also played Icehock and Football(Soccer).
I also do alot of spontanius sports.
Sport and Music is almost my whole life

I used to go to fencing (5 years) and boxing (1 year), but now my only sport is the guitar The reason I quit is that trainers wanted me to devote all the time to the sport, I didn't want to. Now I just go to the swimming pool twice a week.

Another floorball player here. I play in two teams, practice about two times a week and in weekends I can have 0 to 4 matches. Takes quite a bit of time, but I enjoy it alot.
Last year I broke my kneecap during a match though :s , but that gave me alot of time to play guitar.
Also enjoy long distance running occasionally, but that's been a while now.

Cool to see more floorball players. I also play with two teams in the same club(We got a team for the ones who dont have a spot in the first squad).
I have been injured for two weeks but now i am good and can start practise again.

In the Netherlands they always promote the sport as being low on injuries, but from what I see around me I can say it's far from the truth.
I must say I would love to train in Sweden. There is so much skill over there, it would be awesome to learn from that.

...
Yes that happened quite a bit to me. I'd mistime a catch or tackle, get a finger bent back and pop! I broke my collarbone and got a fractured jaw in one really bad tackle, which was when I decided to quit

I dont see to many injuries but it happens in every sport.
I dont know the quality of the game in netherlands but here it is pretty good. The team i am playing in is in Division 1(Third highest division in the country) so its pretty fast and good standard on the teams. For example the team we are playing this weekend has a guy that have played in the national team plus a few more guys who have play in SSl(Highest league)

Never heard of the name 'floorball' but I do recognise the sport. It's a bit like icehockey without ice, am I right?
Posted by: superize Dec 14 2010, 12:13 PM
Alot of people think it is like hock but without ice but its way different.
Posted by: Mr T Dec 14 2010, 12:18 PM
I was there and saw it live in 2008, one of the coolest things I ever saw... gave me goosebumbs all over at the end. Too bad I couldn't make it to Finland this year.

I play football regularly and score in each session.. hehe (well we aren't playing pro football though). I play basketball as well but hardly score. I was a shotput champion back in school .. haha.

I used to play cricket for my state academy's Under-13 category.Stopped playing cricket a year later.
I have played football for my school team.Gave that up due to injuries.And i'm also a 2nd dan brown belt in Karate (Isshinryu style)
Posted by: superize Dec 14 2010, 01:11 PM
Must have been awsome.
this was before i even played floorball, i have only played 2 seasons
Posted by: Fre Dec 14 2010, 02:24 PM
Good to know that superize. I like the video.
Looks like a really cool sport. It doesn't exist in Belgium I think. Is it a recent sport?
Maybe it will come in a few years.

I did boxing and kung fu for a few years, quite seriously actually (especially the boxing). Too bad I broke my knees... but I've been planning to start kung fu again. Praying mantis.
Posted by: Sean_1234 Dec 14 2010, 08:02 PM
That's cool, I play field hockey
Netherlands has some quite standards in it

I trained volleyball before, and like to play it. I like basketball as well, but it's winter time now. No outdoor activities like that for at least 5 months
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Dec 18 2010, 09:23 PM
I played tennis for years and now I just go to the gym regularly. I'm planning on increasing my activities regarding tennis practice as I haven't been playing much last few years and want to get back to it.

Used to practice various styles of kung fu. Long fist, white crane, yang style tai chi, and wing tzun. Also did a few months of P90X which I plan to do again starting next year.

I am a football (soccer) fanatic. i want to join an "over 50" league, but am still too busy with my trucking business to commit to a team. I'm still in ok shape, but have a weakness for the cigarettes now and then. I have to lose my trucking habit first.

I used to play soccer and did running.
Later I wanted to join an american footballclub here in Holland, but because of a bad hip I couldn't, it was also the reason I quit running, just hurts too much.
So right now I am able to do indoor soccer, 3 vs. 3 kind of stuff, swimming, cycling and excercises. But I like pretty much every sport with american football as my favourite.

Now, i'm playing quit much tennis, when its weather to do it
