    I used to play tennis. I was a pretty crap all round player, my backhand was shocking, my volleys were erratic, I just was no good but I liked serving. My sporting hero for ages was Goran Ivanisevic, I just loved serving and going for aces. When I got a summer job from college I spent my money on an expensive racket and got it strung at high tension so that it was easier to get an accurate fast serve without hitting it that hard. I didn't even have a proper 'serving action' I just stood chest on to the net and whacked it straight. No spin, no slice, it just went flat and fast and because I'm tall it came down at a steep angle. I used to go for fast serves all the time, first serve or second serve, I double faulted loads but what I played tennis for was just to see how many times I could smash an ace past people, I was more bothered about how many aces I could serve than if I won.

    I didn't bother joining the tennis club at uni because I was not good enough to play against serious players who would just work out that if you hit to my backhand it wasn't going back over the net. But one of my mates in halls did and was on the uni first team, I went to meet him on the courts one time when he was playing mixed doubles with some serious quality players from the uni team. I was all goggle eyed at the two super hot girls, focusing intently for any skirts flying up, when my mate went to his bag for a drink and said to me 'here do you fancy taking my service game'.

    I just had come in my jeans, t shirt and boots, I wasn't properly kitted out for tennis, so you could see the looks of disdain on the girls' faces, and the smirk on the big alpha jock opposite, thinking I was going to be one of those who flick pops the ball over the net with my wrist. So I just casually wound up and smashed an ace past him. Then another one. Then another one. Then another one. Four aces, no faults. All in different areas of the court at bullet fast pace. I've never done that before or since. Then I just shrugged and walked off court and handed my mate his racket back. The girls were all "OMG have you got a ranking?? no...seriously....are you actually a pro or something, is this a wind up???"

    I just said "yeah, I used to play, but...you know...other priorities these days...."

    Apparently for the next few weeks this story became legend at the tennis club, with everyone trying to persuade me to join and play, but I knew that I would soon get shown up. That moment justified my whole tennis life, I've hardly played since. I have never been any good really and never will be but for those two minutes I felt like Wimbledon champion.
    this is a truly epic story.

    I remember being the last leg of the relay in year 6. I was one of the quickest in the year and won the 100m earlier that sport's day. We only had a 200m track though so ran the last leg on the bend, picked up the baton 4th and was 1 lane in from the person in 3rd, just ran as quickly as I could and overtook him with a couple of meters to go.

    The kids in my class celebrated like I had just won the race.

    When I was a teenager I used to have to get the bus to school and we lived really far out in a city - just on the edges. The bus that I got for school came about once every half hour (if I was lucky) so if I missed it then I would be late for school. Plus there was no bus shelter so I was always getting piss wet through.

    Anyway, one time I turned the corner onto the road where my bus stops and the bus was at the stop with a few people getting on - paying with cash and not using passes - so I thought I had a good chance of sprinting for it. I hot footed it down the road and just as I reached the back of the bus he started pulling away but the doors were still open. I don't really know what I was thinking but I kept running after the bus even though it was now on a dual carriageway and away from the bus stop.

    I managed to reach the front of the bus and flung myself through the double doors just as they snapped shut but one of my legs was still trapped outside so I had to hop to stop my leg from from getting ripped to pieces on the road. I was so out of breath but managed to shout 'waaaaiiit' to him and he re-opened the doors to free my leg. He looked at me like I was a complete lunatic but I just didn't care. The things I did for my education, haha .

    we were doing group sessions when someone threw a rubber over my head, without breaking eye contact or stopping the conversation i was having i reached up and caught it and put my hand down so fast that no one, not even the person i was talking to, knew where the rubber had gone.

    it happened so fast i didnt even realise i had the rubber in my hand or that it was even a rubber i was holding untill i opened my hand on the table.

    i have never felt more like a ninja in my life

    it was awesome

    PLaying CoD, run halfway up a flight of stairs, throw a tomahawk at the wall in front of me, it bounces up and over the bannister, kills the guy at the top

    Back in the real world, someone throws a ball at me suddenly, hit it back on reflex and it hits them in the face.

    Another football one, went on a mazy run past about 3 players then went to cross a ball into the box being the selfless footballer I am. Absolutely mistime my kick but it sails high and up and lobs the keeper right in the top corner from about 30 yards out. I felt like such a boss.

    Also once waved at a bus going past when the stop was like 30 yards down the road, whilst on the opposite side of the road. The driver somehow caught my signal and waited patiently until I got there :yes:

    I realised I was awesome when in my GCSE Physics paper I forgot what CMBR was and then just used red shift to answer it, which doesn't really sound awesome, but considering the paper went badly and I didn't answer 5 questions, at least I am guaranteed one mark.

    I managed to flick a football up, volley it, knock a coke can off this wall, the ball went flying into the air, rolled 20ft along this brick wall and back to my feet.

    Another time was a dickhead was speeding along this road, I was halfway across, I leapt into the air like a panther and was sort of half expected to be hit, I landed on the pavement, did a slight roll and ran off with a major ardenaline buzz.

    I was walking home from work the other day saw a stone that was slightly larger than the rest and well, as you do, I got the urge to kick it. Kick 1, hit a lamppost flew off for ages then stopped just as I was ready to kick it again. "What the hell I thought, kicked the stone again, appeared to bobble up hit a wall, fly off the wall and straight into a bin.

    Felt like a boss. Though nothing compared to that tennis story, I saw here...

    I also remember in Year 10 I always used to kick a football about before school in the morning on this enclosed tarmac area with 3 five a side pitches, anyway, once I was knocking the ball about with a mate and there was a gate about 3ft from one of the posts. It was always shut, but if a shot hit it it did open a bit. I had opened it slightly, so there was 1, maybe 2ft gap if I wanted to kick a ball through. I saw this lad coming down the path on his bicycle who I didn't like and so I asked my mate to flick the ball up, I was stood 20 yards from the gate. I could have roofed the ball, anyway I caught the volley and managed to knock it through this slightly open gate and knocked the lad off his bike. He went mental but it was a one in a million shot.

    Another mental moment was my last ever P.E lesson in Year 11. It was freezing cold, we had an 11 a side game over 3 five a side pitches, so it was probably a half length pitch. Bins as goalposts ridiculously, the bar being about 1.5 metres up. I volunteered to go in goal, in fact I had to demand I went in net. We kept it at 0-0, then about halfway through the opposition really started to hammer the shots in and the ball was like a rock, people jumping in on me, yet somehow I kept it goalless. With literally a minute left, the opposition had their best striker set clean through on goal, I came out, he went to chip me and it was some chip, I could only parry it goalwards but somehow running back I flicked it away on the line. I got hold of it, fired it forward and knowing it was 0-0, did a Schmeichel but only got as far as halfway, the ball ran lose and it was me versus a goon to get to the ball who was willing to break my leg if it meant stopping me. We both went for it, I was quicker and just whacked it as hard as I could towards goal, it flew into the roof of the net and knowing it was the winner, ripped me shirt off and walked back to the changing rooms.

    In the bell tower, correcting experienced people when I am supposed to be the learner!!!

    In football in PE before, last minute and my team was 2-1 upp. I was in goal for the last 5 mins, and with seconds to go, the opposing forward took a shot from about 5 yards. Instinctively I was able to tip it over. The best PE anecdote ever, and I must admit it was a pretty awesome save!!!
