I pride myself on being a good basketball player. I wish I was in better shape, though.

I'm also very competetive. Once I start something, I want to be the best at it. I learn from my mistakes and figure out my weaknesses and change my tactics if need be. Whatever I set my mind to, I become pretty good at it. IE: Halo 3, Super Smash Brothers, Day of Defeat, basketball, poker. Basically, if I'm going to be doing something more than once, why not try and be the best?
