Jugglisk
I just mentioned that I like soccer. I enjoy watching it, yes. Playing it? No, not really. I am super timid when it comes to sports and not very competitive. I prefer to watch those who actually know what they are doing. On the other hand, I like to juggle a soccer ball. Juggle, in this case means to kick or hit the ball with any body part except the arms and hands. The objective is to keep the ball in the air as long as possible. My personal objective is twofold: see how many hits I can get, and exercise. Currently, my personal record for keeping the ball from touching the ground, using primarily my feet, is 3085 hits.
I'm generally out of shape, and I haven't been practicing for quite a while. I was only able to get 585 hits this evening. I used to force myself to get at least 1000 consecutive hits before retiring for the evening, but I'm simply too weak to do that consistently right now. I'm generally trying to get back in decent shape, and so I have chosen this fun hobby my athletic outlet. I'll try to get out to the park each day, as long as I remain motivated and the weather is agreeable.
Yesterday, my friend and I set our record for passing back and forth. The principle is the same: don't let the ball hit the ground. The only difference when juggling with more than one person is that we count the passes (transfers back and forth), rather than each individual hit. This tends to be much more difficult since you have to depend on good passes from the another. Our new record is 42 passes without letting the ball drop.
