Unfortunately he rarely made it to the lesson, preferring to have a crafty cig instead. <br /><br />I always had more enthusiasm than talent, but was half decent at badminton and played from about 9 and did rounders at high school. Mum's certainly taught me the importance of being active, if not necessarily sporty. These days it's my husband who encourages me (he had a very running, jumping, climbing trees kind of childhood) and I know that if we have kids in the future, I'd want to set a good example to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130602323621499071.post-42515402318468689532009-07-17T12:22:01.811+01:002009-07-17T12:22:01.811+01:00I'm not sure where I get my interest in sport ...I'm not sure where I get my interest in sport from. My Mum is definitely not sporty, can't swim, can't ride a bike and my Dad is not exactly sporty but is very active in his job. They both walk quite a bit and are fit, but not in the sporty sense. We were always encouraged to be outside and, growing up in the country, there were lots of physical challenges on our doorstep. I think I would owe my determination more to my parents, and I think you couldn't get anywhere in sport without that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
