I enjoy sports as a great simultaneous physical and social outlet. Team sports like soccer and basketball and also individual sports like squash. When I don't play them, I miss the feeling of competitiveness and camaraderie that sports brings. It can be a great emotional sandbox, to experience the highs of winning and the lows of losing without actually having to win or lose anything of value. I find it to be a good emotional calibrator and I'm a better husband, father, and everything else when I'm regularly participating in sports.
