Except I was on defense. One of my teammates told me I should have jammed the ball home anyway.Not the greatest of athletes but I had hops for a 6'0 guy. In a rec league in my 20's went up for a rebound while the ball was in the cylinder and got 5 inches over the rim and tipped it in/jammed it depending on your perspective. It was offensive goal-tending either way.One of the other players was screaming "offensive goal-tending" but I just looked at him and said, " I wish I could jump high enough to commit offensive goal-tending". The ref let it go and never called it..
Coed softball league the same year. One of the women on the other team was annoying everybody to no end. The cars were parking way out in right field ( I'm a leftie dead pull hitter). When she wouldn't shut up, I asked where her car was parked. She pointed it out like expecting I'd never hit it.. Next pitch was grooved and I drove it headed right for her windshield. right fielder caught it right in front of her car but to hear her shrieking was worth it... She never annoyed me after that....
Shortlisted for the England Schools Cricket Team. Had a great first year which got me on to the shortlist but didn't do so well in year two.
And probably more relevant to this forum, ran in 5 TDs in my first full game as an American Footballer, back when the UK started playing the game, was given the nickname "snakehips" and then promptly damaged my shoulder in game two and didn't play again.

I toured for two years with a professional performance company -- acrobatics, cirque, and dance type stuff. I established and operated a parkour gym for a few years. I can still tightrope, backflip, handstand, etc, at a competent level, although I'm not exactly performance ready anymore.
Here are a few random clips from the last few years. Nothing too crazy, just the footage I happen to have on hand:
I had some amazing high bar skills...
