Thing is, I am less than 5 feet tall.
I have never been really good at sports. I'm not a natural athlete. But with practice I was able to do okay. I took Fencing and Golf in college P.E. As far as I know, all colleges require P.E. classes.

When I was much younger - pre-teen - I was tiny and I was a whiz at b-ball. Couldn't shoot hoops worth a tinker's hoot, but man oh man could I move that ball up and down the court. I'd tear from one end of the court to the other, then pass to someone who could make the shot. Everyone assumed that because I was so short I couldn't play the sport!
Payne, I was never much good at sports in school either. The irony is that I ended up a pro athelete! I just needed a chance to find what I was good at.
