The track team, which practiced on the same field we did in H.S., nick-named me "rocket arm" - I could stand on the goal line and throw a hardball out of the end-zone at the other end of the football field. I would have trouble throwing it over 100 ft now. No snap in my arm either - very frustrating when most fellow players didn't even want to warm up with me in H.S.
