Love it. My son questioned the other day when his former gymnastics coach came 55th in a competition. He asked me, “why do it if they are that bad?”

I couldn’t answer him I thought he had a point. But he doesn’t. Your article shows that, you only live once! Enjoy the journey.

Thanks. Do what you love as much as you can - this is what life is all about!

Sounds like you're destined to become the fat goalie....

As a frustrated musician, it's taken me 40-odd years to fulfil my dreams of getting up on stage. Better late than never.

Dogs - what a banger!

That whole album is epic - maybe I'll write about it...

Goalie always maddest and loudest on team... should have started there.

I absolutely love everything about this - aside from the fact that your dedication was never rewarded with a goal to replay over and over.

We don’t count own goals…

Oh I do in my son's team.

They're kind of bottom of the bottom so any goal counts 😁

Anything in the opposition goal is akin to scoring at a World Cup.
