RE: Sporting memories: you need to train like crazy

I have no kids so I wasn't really sure about this but I think we can just look around and realize that what you are saying is true. When I was a kid we would go and look for pick up games with strangers and it would be fine, today those aren't likely to exist. Screens exist and this is where most people, including young people, are likely to spend their time. They are victims of their environment. When I was young there were videogames and screens as well, but we couldn't just play or watch anything we wanted any time that we wanted. This encouraged us to get out there and do something more interesting. I don't think at any point in my sporting career that being in good shape was ever even a consideration of mine. I just enjoyed playing a lot.
I was exactly the same as you always active and therefore was always very fit. Playing sport or sitting in front of a screen was always going to be sport as the winner.
