I miss dodgeball, that was a great game that I was decently good at. Back in Grade School in this program I was in after-school because my parents worked late, I would hang around there till like 5 when they would get off. We would play dodgeball pretty often, I would win nearly every time against 20+ other people in a free for all in the gym. Of course as some of the other guys there got older, they got better at putting up a fight in these little tournaments. There was never more than a year difference between anyone though. If smaller kids played I had to hold back and throw underhanded though of course, otherwise I was throwing fast. In High School it got a lot more competitive and aggressive though, I remember getting into a fight or two after games once or twice, even when I was a Freshmen I was keeping up with the Seniors, pissed off one guy in particular once or twice, but the dude was a pompous ass so it didn't matter much. There were lots of fights with others too, the school got tired of dealing with them so they scrapped dodgeball for awhile. Those were the good ol' days. I think my generation could use some more confidence and less hand-holding though.

My old school still has a strong foundation on winning, but losing is met with the term- [i]You will learn more from a loss than you ever would from a victory.[/i] Something like that anyway. If there was no incentive to win while I was in school I would have never bothered trying.
