What No One Tells You About Being a Tall Athlete | My Journey As A Former Athlete

What No One Tells You About Being a Tall Athlete | My Journey As A Former Athlete

For today’s episode, we are talking about tall people and sports as well as my journey as an athlete.

“Do you play basketball?”

“Oh you must play basketball or volleyball.”

Those were two of the most common comments I’ve gotten as a tall girl growing up and honestly even at this age. And you’d be surprised just how disappointed some people were when I’d tell them that I don’t. Like I’m sorry…but you’re a random stranger. Why does it matter to you???

It’s pretty common that when somebody sees a tall person, they think that that tall person has some type of natural athleticism or would be good at sports. Well, newsflash…not all of us play or have played sports. Crazy, right?? However, there was a time where I did play sports. And that’s what we’re talking about today.

I want this episode to be for the tall girlies who feel some type of pressure to play sports because of their height or have other interests besides sports. If this is you or you’re just genuinely interested in hearing about my journey, tune in!
