Did you play any sports in school?

Does Cheerleading count as a sport? We had intense qualifications. In two weeks' time I went from incredibly inflexible to being able to do a split, learned several jumps, and even more routines. Not everyone made the cut, but I was fortunate that one very sweet cheerleader took me under her wing. She taught me how to stretch and coached me.

Once on the squad, we did conditioning for strength and flexibility three times per week. Hundreds upon hundreds of leg lifts! We practiced routines. We had uniforms. It sure sounds like a sport, except for one critical component: competition. No one scored us on our performance, and we didn't win or lose each week, like our football and basketball team counterparts.

So, no. I didn't play any sports in high school.
