That's funny Chicago. Because my identity as an athlete is my identity because it was the one thing that wasn't picked for me in the womb. I think part of why I love physical culture so much is because it's something that my parents never valued at all.Originally Posted by chicago
I had no choice in being a tomboy... it was picked for me while still in the womb

funny how different we are huh?... my Mom takes credit for both my sister's and my athletic ability. We are good skaters, and my Mom says "that's because you're mother was always a good skater" Originally Posted by OakLeaf

... actually it's quite cute... and we adore her for it... but then I will say "Mom, does my playing sports my whole life have any contribution to my success as an athlete", and she'll say "well okay... maybe some", LOL!! Actually it is quite genetic... I have 50 cousins on the southside of Chicago, and I believe every one of them is athletic. We are all 5'4 (at least all the women), no hips and no boobs, LOL... all built the same, LOL!!
