Trying out for Cross Country?

Question

Okay this school year I'm going into middle school. I've practically never done any sports before except karate. Do you think I could try out for cross country or any other sport. I'm pretty overweight. I'm 12 years old and 115 lbs. Medium about 5 ft. height. Do you thing I could try out for cross country and take a risk? Also how is cross country? Is it hard?

Answer 1

Please don't say that you are over wieght =[[....cause i am 13 years old and weigh 150 pounds...and im a cheerleader!...i am 5'8.....you aren't over wieght......it is because of our height that we weigh more...but any way..i did cross country in 7th grade...it was reallllllly hard at first because i was coming into it when i had never played sports before...and to do cross contry you realllllly have to have a drive and pssion for running..so this is basically what you have to ask yourself!....do you have a passion for running..or do you like to run..caus ei found myself dreading runing cause i really hate to do it.....but i hope that you find your sport because when you do you will make lots of friends and it will make middle school that much esier!.....Good Luck!!!!

Answer 2

hi, I'm a Jr. in high school and Ive been in cross country for about all three years. i was overweight my freshman year. being in sports help me get fit. sure cross country is hard no doubt about that, but every sport is hard. just because some thing is hard doesn't mean you have to quit it just means you have to try harder. if you join any sport and you stay in the team and you dedicate your time and values to it, you can not only get fit, but raise your self esteem. and then better things will come to you. and if you don't make it on the team it just mean you didn't try hard enough. so take a risk and see how it goes.

well anything thing else just let me know. happy to help. let me know how it goes! =) have fun!
