I keep hearing now about how it's terrible for self-esteem and now schools won't do it. Truth, I was still always picked last, but I was very, very good at dodging, got to stay in the game until mostly the end and actually got a compliment once from a team mate ("They're trying to hit you, because you're so tempting, so they aren't eliminating the guys who can throw well.")

The soccer game in the rain was pretty interesing. All the FAST runners had penalties called on them and were skidding on the mud. If the coach had been thinking, he'd have fielded ONLY the "wimp squad" that day. But there were enough others that he didn't.
