If I had the Chance to Press the “Do Over” Button

If I had a “do over” button, the event in my life I would want a second chance at would be the time I would go back to the time I did track in sixth grade. It was honestly the worst decision I have ever made. I am not a runner, a jumper, or a thrower. I quickly realized this after the first day of practice.

I was awful at track. I was last in every single race, the best I have done is get fourth place in the 200 meter dash. I scratched every single time I did long jump and there was no way I could even run a mile. There were lots and lots of tears that were shed that season. I’m glad I finished out the whole season, but lets just say my true athletic abilities were revealed and every day was an embarrassment. I am glad to say I have found volleyball as my calling.

  1. Hey Josie! I also did track in middle school. We had very similar situations I believe. I often cried during the season and my running abilities were embarrassing too. I am glad you have found a different sport that you enjoy.

  2. Tragic. Im so sorry you had to got through that. Some sports are just not for everyone, and you are so much better at other things. I would say that you are very exceptional at Volleyball. I hope you have an amazing day!
