Other Sports Chris played as a child were really the normal for kids in the US, units in gym of most of the basics, he also played soccer for much of his childhood before high school where he discovered his love for the game. Originally trying out as a kicker, Chris also found out he had a halfway decent arm and for freshman year became the backup quarterback while at the same time a benchwarmer for the soccer team. That would be the highest level he would play two sports at, excluding recreational hobbies. He does wonder what would have happened if he had gone down the Bo Jackson route and tried to do two sports at once, but then thinks he wouldn't be nearly as good as he is now having focused on football. Still it would be interesting to think about how life could have changed for better (or worse?) if he had say, made it to the MLS or another smaller league. Chris does think about that sometimes but then he shakes it off and begins preparing for his next practice, the next throw, the next series, the next game. We are all thankful he chose football however, as one of the top QBs in the NSFL, he is quite fun to watch! (216)

Darren Smallwood has a lot of talents, some are more obvious than others. His speed and agility are obviously some of the great skills that cannot be taught. However, there is no doubt that he is asset to his kickball team. Playing for the recreation kickball team Glorious, Smallwood has taken to be one of the strongest infielders and speedsters his team has ever seen. His bunting game is unparalleled and when he needs to he can slice the ball deep into the outfield along the foul line. Smallwood however is just a part among the pieces in the team, his pitching skills, grass or dirt, are not great and when he goes up against kickball pitchers that spin like no tomorrow he’s in real trouble if the catcher is aggressive enough. This is the unfortunate side of kickball, despite his many years in the recreational circuit, Smallwood has only brought in one championship ring, and that was during his tenure as part of the team Space Ballz. That said, there’s nothing quite like the small of grass in the park as the ball rolls down the field and booted as Smallwood uses his speed to make what would be a single an easy double. (205)
