17 Things Every Former Athlete Has Said

Any former athlete understands the feeling of missing your sport terribly and wanting nothing more but to get back out there and compete again. Whether you decided to stop on your own, got injured, or had other circumstances, the feelings are always the same. Although we no longer actively play the sport, we are still completely emotionally invested in it. We want to go out and play, but since we can't, we decide to talk about it instead. Here are 17 things that former athletes have definitely said at one point in time.

1. "Why'd SHE make the team? I'm better than her.."

2. "I could've had that."

3. "Wow, the talent in this sport has really declined. My year was the last good year."

4. "Was it really this difficult to run when I played?"

5. "You should have seen my in my prime."

6. "You know, I made the all-star team back in (insert date)."

7. "WHAT KIND OF PLAY WAS THAT?!"

8. "I only didn't play because my coach was an a**"

9. "Their coach sucks. *Lists everything coach is doing wrong*"

10. "I definitely could take her on without a doubt. I mean she's only D3."

11. "I didn't play in college because I wanted to focus all of my attention on my academics."

12. "Oh COME ON, GET UP. IT COULDN'T HAVE HURT THAT BADLY. SUCK IT UP"

13. "I definitely wasn't that much of a wimp when I played. I mean, seriously."

14. "Don't be fooled by my clumsiness, I used to have some mean talent."

15. *Strikes out three times in a row* "This normally wouldn't happen. I'm just a little rusty."

16. "I'm so glad I don't have to be coached anymore."

17. "I wish I could get back out there and play again."

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
