Which sports do you like to play?

I like to play tennis and volleyball. I coach my kid's volleyball team, starting my 4th season now (won 2 championships, almost 3). All 3 of my kids (triplets) are on my team so that keeps me busy. I also like to play basketball but I'm not very good as I never played much when I was younger, and I'm not in good enough shape to run up and down a full court for an extended period of time, but I love the game. In the winter I like to snow ski as well, either here in So. Cal or in Utah, where my sister lives.

I find a lot of similarities between trading and sports, especially tennis, where there is a lot of mental/psychological challenges to overcome when playing an individual sport like tennis, and you often have to think about whether or not to take high probability, low reward shots or high-risk shots with certain point gains if executed properly (risk mgt). It also helps to size up your opponent during the warm-up (pre-market) to see where their strengths and weaknesses are.

What do you like to play?

I live on the West coast of Florida where I sail, play golf and bike ride.

But now my favorite sport is Fantasy Football.

I like tennis the most, I play usually 3 times a week.
I also play soccer once a week, and like to play volleyball, beach volley and basketball when I have a chance.
