Your most average, mediocre, middle-of-the-road type of moment in athletic competition?

I got put in at linebacker in the 9th grade and of course they ran their 23 year old fullback right at me. I grabbed him and fell backwards forcing him to fall on me.

I got pulled immediately and noticed the coaches were laughing at me.
 
Best tackle of my high school football career. Perfect form. Almost killed the guy. Our entire defense stopped thinking the play was over. Apparently it was an option because the guy I hit didn't have the ball. Ball carrier ran for a 40 year gain.
 
I solo tackled Dustin Staley (played for BYU) in high school on a kickoff. Grabbed him by the facemask and it wasn't called.

To this day I tell people I gunneysacked him.
 
I won an award for best athlete at a family reunion.

Why were you playing sports at a family reunion and not trying to get laid?

Why do you hate abundance?

Got nailed by a nasty one hopper in the left eye, orbit fracture, still picked it up and threw him out at first, then went to the hospital.
 
I had season tickets during the Sarkisian years.

Hope you still have them. Gonna be hard to come by before too long with the best ticket sales team in all the land.
 
Grabbed the rim of the single basketball hoop at Eisenhower middle school during lunch and, in slow motion, felt the rim slipping from the tips of my fingers that were holding on for dear life as my momentum sent me flying horizontally back down to earth, knocking the wind out of myself as everyone watched. The subsequent walk to next period with my arm draped over my buddy who was carrying half of my body weight as the feeling in one of my legs was gone was a doozy. I still don't know whether or not I experienced a concussion on that fateful day.
 
I was voted most improved on my fourth grade boys and girls club basketball team. The following year I won the 'big man' skills challenge only because the girl on the team couldn't make the lay-in, meaning she was faster than me. Still have the trophy.
