When my friends and I played Soccer, we played a sort of Soccer/Hockey hybird where we have "face-offs" in the middle of the field. Well, little ignorant me thought, naturally, that was how the game was played. So once, while playing a rec sports game, the other team had a free kick, I thought it was a face off. the other guy kicked the ball, i demolished his ankle.

Quite stupid... No offense...

I bet for most guys it involves getting hit in the groin by a projectile of some sort. Mine includes a basketball *multiple times*, football, and frisbees *I was an innocent bystander*. 🙁 Oh, the painful memories...
 
I wouldnt call the following event embarrassing, but I felt terrible after doing it. Well here goes: At one of my high school soccer games I slide tackled a guy to prevent a break-away. Well in the process of hitting him I heard a snap. At first I thought it was my ankle, but it turns out I got up just fine to see him laying on the field screaming in agony. I broke his leg in two places. I felt terrible, but being the sportsman I am I helped him off the field. The tackle was legal and I just happened to catch him at the wrong time.😱
 
Mine happened when I was in high school and my soccer team was playing a rival school in a league game. I didn't really have to make many saves in the game, but in the second half we were up 3-0 and a kid on the other team played a long ball from midfield for one of his forwards making a run to the middle of the field. So I decided that I would run out to the top of the box and catch the ball before the forward could get to it. The only problem was that when I tried to catch the ball, it went right through my arms, through my legs and bounced into the goal 😱 Needless to say, no one has scored on me from midfield after that.

Something similar happened to me. A kid on the team we were playing got a breakaway and I slid out to prevent him from scoring. I got control of the ball just as he was about to strike it and he hit my knee instead. I got up right away and back into the game. I thought he was ok too until I looked behind me and saw him still on the ground holding his ankle. I helped him off the field and figured it was a sprain at worst, but the next day I found out that his ankle was broken and he would miss the rest of his senior season. 😱

So you're the one that knocked David Beckham out of the World Cup.
 
My most embarassing moment would have to be when in a high school basketball game I was on a fast break and went for the dunk. It was off of one of my teammate's steals and at the end of the third quarter. I would have just enough time to get to the rim and dunk it before the buzzer. I had already dunked earlier in the year so I figured I'd go for it again. I took off with the ball in one hand and the crowd was primed for my slam, since that unfortunately was pretty much all I was known for. The ball then slipped out of my hand in mid-air, went sailing over the backboard and I came down so red faced that my head looked like a red ballon. I didn't get much more playing time or dunk attempts for the rest of the year. Oh well.
 
Anything that involves me and any flying or rolling object is profoundly embarrassing.



<----hand-eye coordination impaired. Can't catch, hit, kick, or throw. Anyone wanna go snow skiing?
 
I was on the tennis team when I was in high school. Tennis was the only sport I had any chance at making the team. Well, I was playing doubles one day. I'm serving and my doubles partner was at the net. I hit a serve that plunked him right in the back of the head. He was pretty pissed at me. So when whenever he was serving and I was at the net I always worried that he'd try to hit me. He came close several times!
 
Hmmm.... there are many 😱

One particularly memorable one was when we were being graded in gym class -- our teacher was coming around to watch us play basketball, and my bra broke. So I had my elbows on my chest to "hide" this fact and was trying to keep playing, passing and shooting. It was pathetic. No one said anything but I'm sure they knew 😱
 
It was about say, 4th grade playing soccer at lunch. I'm wandering off cause i'm getting bored and I never get the ball anyways. I see a little twig and stick it into the ground, and say to my self this is a magical twig the ball will come here and i'll get it. I hear my name being called, I turn my head and the ball hits my right in my face. No fun at all 🙁
 
First day of football practice in high school, ate too big of a breakfast, after running a bunch of sprints, got sick, puked, and passed out.
 
please. plunking in the head is nothing. my partner served and smacked me in the behind. during a match. good jolly fun right there
 
I took bowling for a 1.5 credit in college (damn pe requirements are stupid). Took fencing for the other which was cooler...but anyway. Ya know after you go that thing drops down, picks up the standing pins, and sweeps back the fallen pins? Well I'd get distracted or something and grab a ball and throw it down the lane while that thing was down, making a loud f'ing crash and damn near breaking it. Had to call an attendant to go get the ball and push the machine up (sometimes I would hit it and it wouldn't go back up). I mean I was hitting it really f'ing hard too. Stupid ass bowling 😛

Coach said he was gonna kick my ass out if I didn't quit after about the 5th time. Was quite embarassing 😱

30-45 people around and me holding up the lanes around mine because I'm an asshat.
 
hey freesia, I'd rather get hit by a serve in the ass than the head. He said he felt somewhat dizzy the entire match after the hit.
 


<< I played organized football from 4th grade to Senior year in High School and had one moment that was actually one of the more embarrasing of my life, not just sports related.

I was in 7th grade, and we were playing an across town team at Home. I was pants'd not once but TWICE. And I mean down to the ankles pants'd, and the boxers went with the football pants. The other thing that is funny about this is that it was in front of the visiting teams cheerleading squad. The REALLY funny thing is when I met my now wife sophmore year in high school, upon discussing this event with her, I come to find out she was on that cheerleading squad and remembered that night vividly. Needless to say I wasnt really embarrassed at that point but I thought it was a funny ending to that horid event in my life. >>



that's the coolest "how we met" I've heard in a while 😀
 
playing CF in little league and trying to be fancy by barehanding a basehit to throw the runner out at second.


It took a funny hop and by me it went, all the way to the fence 🙁


the runner scored.
 
All my experience with sports have been embarrassing. Embarrassing to me, my teamates, my family. Just a total disgrace to humanity and the sport world.
 
playing in a city-sponsored basketball tournament at lunch time during high school and getting pantsed (i think that's how u spell it) while defending. Very embarassing 🙁 Good thing I wear boxers
 
Mine, I think, is the worst yet.

In junior high I was a dweeb. I was really, really short and pretty unathletic. We had a sub teacher for gym class, and we were playing flag football with the sub as the QB for both teams. The other kids had been making fun of me for various reasons, and the sub pulled me aside and said, "Hey, I'm throwing it to you, go deep, ok?"

So I went deep. I had mostly been playing line, so nobody really expected me to go for a pass. So I turn around, and the sub throws this perfect pass. I'm like, hell yeah, I'm gonna catch this mofo . . .

Then Mike f*cking Walker appears out of nowhere, picks off the pass, and returns it for a TD. You know the kind of guy . . . the functionally retarded type who only show up to school for baseball, basketball, football, and track. Well old Mike lettered in all 4, and he had a part time job of treating me and my friends like crap. On a happier note, Mike got his girlfriend pregnant in 8th grade and dropped out. Now he's probably making minimum wage somewhere and I'm well-paid and successful.

I wish I had caught that pass, though. 🙁
 
When I got beat by the fattest kid in the gym class (I walked 95% of the way) during a 2 mile race. I was about 100 feet ahead of him until the last 200 feet when my leg popped out of socket briefly. That sucked.
 
Most embarrassing for me was a rec soccer game. I was the only girl on the team and the shortest. The coach decided to try me as goalie. Needless to say, the goalie "shirt" on me hung down to my ankles. I was a bit intimidated. Eventually, there was a scuffle at the goal and much to my horror, the ball dribbled into the goal. A snail could have stopped it in time, but not me. 😱
 
I've got two, both soccer related.

First. A couple of nights before a big game I had a dream that I was on a lighted field at night with a lot of fog around me. I'm alone and the ball is coming towards me but is way too high, so I jump up in slow motion and grab it. Well two days later at the game, it's night and we're on a lighted field playing in the fog (I had no idea the field was lighted before, I'd never played here and we'd never played at night). Anyway, they kick the ball and it's coming at me but way too high. The goalie is running up to catch it and we're the only two people there. For some idiotic reason I get this desperate urge to stop the ball at all costs and jump up and grab it. Man that was so embarassing and wierd. 🙂

Second. I was at a tournament and had lost or torn one of my contact lenses, so I'm playing with really screwed up depth perception. The ball comes bouncing towards me and I'm all alone. It's got perfect bounce and speed for me to send it back up field any way I like, so I line up and go for the kick and *WHIFF*, clean miss. Of course no-one believed my contact story, guess I should've mentioned that to the coach. 🙂 Oh well, my backup was worse than me even if I'd been completely blind. 🙂
