   I have the same instinct. As a kid, I was fantastic at dodge ball and   
   rarely got hit; in baseball, I was awful across the board.

   The only sports I was ever any good at are badminton and volleyball. The   
   latter was interesting because I was good at the sport even without ever   
   having played it before. It's almost as if I was born to play it. In fact,   
   when I first played it in CÉGEP (the equivalent of Grade 12 and U0 in   
   university), girls actually started to notice me. I guess it shouldn't be   
   a surprise that Poland is usually at the top of the ladder in   
   international volleyball.
