Sports Allow Me To Have Fun and Stay Healthy

By Kim Franklin


I really enjoy practicing sports, they allow me to stay healthy and have fun at the same time. I have been into sports all my life, as a young boy I practiced every single sport on the book, I played ball, soccer, football, martial arts, hocky, and boxing.

Boxing has always been my favorite sport, I used to be an amateur boxer, I even represented my country internationally, I was part of the national boxing team, I won may titles, and my future as a boxer was seemed very promising until a dislocated shoulder shattered all my dreams. I won more than 90 fights, and I only lost 1, my only defeat was due to an injury, it was a dislocated shoulder what put an end to my career as a boxer.

One of thos injuries was a dislocated shoulder, that was probably the reason why I stopped boxing, that injury destroyed all my dreams, I wanted to be the world champ! Now I'm more like the keyboard Champ, but that's not a problem, I'm a strong guy, I know how to take a loss, and I also know how to move on.

I still practice boxing every single day, I do a lot of sparring, I love to jump rope, and I love to hit the heavy big with all my power. Sometimes I feel like making a comeback, but I'm not that young anymore, so it's probably not a very good idea. Even if I don't fight again, I will always love boxing, and I will always enjoy watching the sport. My favorite fighter is Floyd Mayweather, I would love to see him fight against Manny Pacquiao, I hope they make that fight happen, because I really want to see the "Pacman" get ko'd by "Pretty Boy Floyd".

Sports are mylife, but I probably enjoy driving my car even more than sports. Driving is getting harder though, now there's a lot of traffic in every city, I hate traffic because it makes me waste too much time, and time is the most valuable asset that I have. I like to use the driving directions Mapquest provides in order to avoid traffic and other things that I really don't like to deal with when I'm driving, if you use the Map Quest or the Google Maps route planner you will be able to avoid closed roads, roads under construction, traffic, and much more!
