ZandraJoi Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Do you know of anybody who was maybe from your hometown? Since I’m not into sports that much, I haven’t met a Pro athlete. Nobody from our small town ever has been drafted to play either. If you could pick someone to meet, who would you choose? It took me some thinking but I think I would choose someone like Mary Lou Retton. I know she’s older, but she is still an athlete. I pick her because I was a kid when she was in The Olympics doing her gymnastic routine. For a kid, it was quite exciting & I remember my friends & I trying to do cartwheels, handstands, etc. Justin11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I've met Ric Flair, Rulon Gardner, and Teddy Long. Technically Teddy Long was a manager, but he was still a big part of the WWE. If I could pick an athlete it would Pavel Datsyuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you travel all round the world to catch up with them buddy? I've tried to reach out to some of my favourite sports starts but they are simply staying faraway from me.

I already knew bolt from my time as a track and field athlete in high school plus I run into him all the time. I met most of them while they were staying in my country and my parents used to perform as musicians at said hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your field and track career went into pro? Is your parents still musicians till today? Its tremendous hearing that you're a celebrity child with the influence of your parents coupled with your athletics career.

Its nice that your mom still sing even if its part time. But you could've pushed on, making a career there in track and field is superfluous, that's what made Bolt so popular today.

Darth Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I have not. I would love to meet someone that plays for Chelsea since that is the team I have supported since I was quite young. I wouldn't mind meeting a Formula 1 driver either. Would love to just get a picture with one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to meet anyone from the Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 So many times,when I go to the stadium, we do train with professional athletes at times, and they share the field of play with us being the amateur players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I know a professional footballer, who has played for the national team of our country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Since I never gone to watch live matches at the stadium, their is no way I can catch-up with a pro footballer, maybe in the near future I'll resume my indoor lifestyle again to watch my favourite local teams in action first.
