Why are some guys jocks and some not. What makes the difference?

8. Fuck'n jock

There probably are a lot of reasons for that, from the personal to the families and other social support systems.

I remember the jocks and the brains in school--although many of the brains I knew also were very capable in athletics.

I certainly wasn't a jock, but I was outgoing and sociable so I had friendships that cut across all of the cliques in school.

In HS I was enrolled in gymnastics, but that was only to give me a class to cut to work on the HS newspaper I edited. Still, that experience impressed me with all of the hard work and effort my fellow students were putting in to excel in athletics.

I loved watching the Olympics this year, and especially the gymnastics. I was rooting for both foreign and U.S athletes, but the U.S. Women's gymnastics team was really the highlight for me. They were AMAZING!

Endorphins aren't the answer, but more power to you for your walking.

My little brother loved biking, but ill health late in life kept him from doing that--until he had some medical procedures done that allowed him to go back to doing his half-centuries and centuries.

Not long after he began bicycling again, he dropped dead on a ride. But he was doing what he loved doing.

8.6 is good, and good for you.
