What are your favorite sports to watch and play?
I love sports. I can watch just about any sport, but there are a few that I care about and some I have played.
– Rugby League
I grew up in a rugby league-mad family, so there was no doubt I would fall in love with the game. I started playing it when I was five and stopped when I was 22. I was pretty good at it, but never had the drive to make it as a professional.
I still love the game, and since I’m getting too old to play the game, the next best thing would be to cover it.
Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed Martial Arts is the sport that made me want to be a sports journalist. I took up martial arts again after I stopped playing league, and I thought I may have had a few fights, but I wasn’t dedicated enough.
When I was injured, I was bored during the time off and started blogging about UFC events. It kicked started a love of writing and lead me to where I am today.
MMA is equal with rugby league as the sport I love most.
Pro Wrestling
I know what you’re thinking, ‘that’s not a real sport,’ well I don’t care this is my list.
I have been watching pro wrestling since I was a kid, and I even wanted to travel to Canada to train, but I never did.
I stopped watching it for a while but picked it up again in the late 2010s.
Like the other two I mentioned, I would like to cover pro wrestling, but I think it’s harder to work your way into that business.
Those are the three sports I enjoy watching and playing< I do have more, but it’s getting late, and I need to be in bed for work tomorrow.
