This is one of the reasons I wish I had played more sports when I was a kid. Besides the health benefits, I think it would have prepared me better for some of the mental challenges I have come across in life.

Sport is great for many things. I wish I had got into running for the mental side of it. I just couldn't maintain it - I would get bored far too easy running any distance and not chasing a ball. Now, I can't run at all.
Yeah, I hear you there. That's what's nice about the treadmill at home. I can put the TV on and it is at least a little distraction. Mostly from the pain. My legs still ache so bad when I run!
I think for men in particular, the bonds and friendships formed over team sports are pretty incredible and definitely contribute to mental health... the physical injuries from sports though... not so much.
Haha, yeah, that is probably a good point!
