10 Problems Only People Who Are Bad At Sport Will Understand

Balls.

Okay so you're bad at sports, but that doesn't make you a bad person, despite what all of your team mates are saying about you. These people take PE lessons far too seriously anyway. What's the point in keeping score during a practise? It's not like it's a league game or anything and the reason you know this is because you're actually playing. As if anyone would let you join a real team and play in a league... They always tell you that it's the taking part that counts, so why does everyone keep tutting at you and looking at you with their disappointed faces? You're trying. You're there on the court, you have your game face on and you're ready to play, but it's just not your fault that you're absolutely, irrevocably, shockingly bad at sports. You're consistently useless all year round, so why do people still expect you to be able to play like a pro over night? If you're bad at sports, you might be able to relate to one or two of these things...

10. You Have A Love/Hate Relationship With Your Sporty Friends

You're Phoebe in this scenario. They're embarrassed at your lack of... sportiness and you're too far gone to be bothered about it. You're friends with the jocks and as much as you all enjoy each other's company, they love staying active and will do any activity they can in order to keep in shape for their sport. Even if it's something as simple as going for a run or heading down to the local basketball courts, they'll invite you to make up the numbers. As much as you love them for including you, you wish that they wouldn't. That way, you wouldn't feel guilty about blowing them off to stay in bed and watch Netflix. But then again, your friends are the perfect people to have around when you're moving house or for when you fancy re-arranging your living room. It's just a shame that you can't repay the favour as you're not the go to guy for heavy lifting.
