I don't play any sports currently. I used to when I was younger. In high school, I was on the basketball team. But after I graduated, I stopped playing. I kind of lost interest along the way, getting caught up with schoolwork and jobs during college. So I just ended up losing interest in playing sports. However, in the future, I'd like to try venturing into sports like volleyball or tennis. I think it would be a good way to connect with other people.
