Who's Who at the Rec Center?

Guy, 29.

Played basketball back in high school
Now it's mostly hitting the gym, running, and maybe some pickup games with the crew on the occasional weekend

High school student, 16 years old.

I play basketball, and I’m also big into running, handball, tennis, and volleyball. Just an absolute sports junkie at heart.
Washington, D.C., USA

Man, 38 and a half years old
I spent my childhood coaching water polo, then did basketball for two years, followed by five years of soccer—plus indoor soccer since basically the dawn of time. I was a total baller on the court until about 11 or 12 years ago, played ping pong for ages, tennis for three years, hit the gym for 15 years straight, and even dabbled in kickboxing for a bit... oh, and I've been cycling regularly for six years now. Not to mention my constant hiking trips up Mount Everest 🙂
The fallout from all that? My knee cartilage is absolutely shot—like, completely gone—so I’m stuck seeing a chiropractor at least once a year just to function. Throw in a herniated disc, joint issues... yeah, it’s a mess 😬
And I can't forget... my degree. Or what should have been my degree from the College of Kinesiology. Had to drop out because of a knee injury 😢
