Bro-tips 2-5

I've been pondering long and hard just what I should post as the second bro-tip.  There are just so many ideas in this head of mine.  So we'll see what comes out of my fingers and onto your screen.

Sound good?

So I thought I'd start by addressing my Bambi-ness.

Remember when Bambi is learning to walk and his legs look like noodles and he trips like every second?  Yeah, well thats how my family says I look when I play sports.

I didn't believe them until I looked back through this album: My Adventures on Wipeout


and until I watched this:

My wakeboarding skills have improved since then.  I promise.  

So that is the Bambi story.  Aside from looking like an uncoordinated long and lanky piece of work, I absolutely love playing sports.  I love watching sports.  I just kinda love sports.  

Sooooooo lets talk about this for a minute.  

I feel like you can learn a LOT about a guy by the way he plays sports.  

Based on my observations over the years, I thought I'd share the following bro-tips with you!

Enjoy :)

Ok. Bro-tip #2:  Hot heads = no bueno.

Seriously.  HUGE turn off: When a guy is a hot head when playing sports.  Or really all the time, but I feel like hot-head-ness comes out most when a guy is playing sports.  I'm all about being competitive and playing hard... but getting all crazy slash in your face slash I'm going to bash your head in is not cute or impressive.  Its just embarrassing.  

Bro-tip #3:  Don't be a sore loser.

There are few things less attractive than a sore loser.  If you lose, give credit where credit is due and move on with your life!  Being all angry and coming up with a million excuses doesn't make you look cool.  It makes you look like a tool.  Its a GAME dang it, and your little theatrics are kinda making you look like a baby.  

Bro-tip #4:  Ok this one is kinda tricky but its just as important as the others.  When you play sports with a girl: Don't let her win.  Seriously.  Go hard!  Ok, not too hard, but play for real!  I get so annoyed when I go play sports with guys and they're all "ohh she's a girl, we'll go easier"... and I'm like... "homeboy.  Its game time".   IF you do choose to not put this handy little tip into practice... AT LEAST turn those theatrics on and make it look like you're trying hard. 

Bro-tip #5:  Oh my goodness please please please don't be a victim.  

This doesn't just apply to sports but it really applies to life.  Going around thinking the world is out to get you is NOT a good look for you.  Its exhausting.  You know what a victim is, right?  Somebody who is the victim is always thinking they have the worst life ever and its way worse than anybody else's could ever be.  They don't just think that, they make sure EVERYBODY knows it.  Their glass is not just half empty, their glass is the most half empty glass ever in the history of the world because one of their friends drank from it and left their finger prints on it and its really ugly and they just want a new glass because this one just won't do. Nobody wants a victim.  Own up.  Perk up.  And maybe even shut up (if you need to). :)
