Opening SportsTalkSocial Post - 30,000 SPORTS Vested

Ash @abh12345.sports@abh12345.sports (59)2610d

Good afternoon sports fans!

This is my first post with this account, made specifically for sportstalksocial.com. And, I've just loaded up the account with just over 30,000 SPORTS ready to curate the sports related content that appeals to me.

This could be anything from Football (Soccer for some of you), Golf, Swimming, Tennis, Snooker, Athletics, and probably a fair few more that don't come to mind right now. If your content isn't sports related, I may write a message informing you, and if you are really taking the piss repeatedly, I'll likely downvote your content. This account has no other vested stake other than SPORTS.

This account also gives me a little more freedom to post content that perhaps the majority of my followers at @abh12345 aren't used to seeing / didn't follow me for.

Like this :)

My daughter swims for a club, and yesterday she was at a county gala event performing a couple of 50 meter events. She's been swimming since she was 3, and her mum and grandma (and my late father) are keen swimmers.

Since starting out, she has had a couple of notable coaches. One of which trained Rebecca Adlington who won 2 gold medals at the 2008 Olympics.

Her best stroke is butterfly, which is apparently the most energy-zapping of all the strokes used in events. The good thing about learning early though is that the main focus is technique. Over 50 meters and at this age, you can get away without perfect technique if you are ahead of your peers in strength, and my daughter is much better over further.

She's in lane 3:

#

4th in lane 3 - 35:02

Her time of 35:02 is a personal best, beating the one she set at the same event a year ago. This last year though she has mainly been focusing on further, and she often lets me know that she swam '150+ lengths this evening' - damn!

What's cool is that the girls ahead of her in this race are a year older, and second or two at this level can easily be made up via a little more experience and strength. I'm looking forward to watching her race over further as technique will come into play more.

Thanks for reading,

Asher

    Hey mate - I have found a solution to use VP here and not to waste too much on Steem, I just delegate my SP on Steem to Steemmonsters and can then curate better here :-) or kind of. Last option to create a dedicated new account here and hire a personal female assistant :-).

    I like your strategy to divide accounts per token / community. I am not ready yet for that but might consider.

  • @calprut(69)· 2609d

    Congrats @ab12345.sports. Now i am confused, do i need to separate to create other account? - coz its reflect to my voting power too. hmmm....

  • @juvyjabian(72)· 2610d

    Way to go bro :)

  • @bashadow(70)· 2610d

    I remember swimming and racing, and oh oh how much fun and dangerous Water Polo was. I never had the upper body strength for the butterfly stroke, I specialized in the side stoke as a kid, never really won many races, but still had a blast in High School swimming.

    Thanks for this post, it allowed me to find another community. I love how all this is growing. Two full social sites, a finance tribe, a bank tribe (@neoxian, started his Neoxian_City tribe), and now a sports page. I wonder how long before @informationwar get their politics tribe going they always have some fun reading.

    Thanks for the offer of help a few days back, but I am going to try to avoid having more names and more account passwords to lose for now, I may hit you up in the future if I do change my mind. I think my Web page will help me out some as I continue to build it.

  • @rezoanulvibes(76)· 2610d

    Looks like your daughter loves swimming. She got the first lesson about swimming from her family, I guess. Wish her all the best!

    Looking forward to reading your posts!

  • @freddio(60)· 2610d

    it looks like a lot of work to manage all your accounts :)

  • @meesterboom(81)· 2610d

    Oh my God. You've gone rogue. I will have to send the hunters out after you and bring you in!!

  • @blanchy(75)· 2610d

  • @erikahfit(65)· 2610d

    Welcome to the club 😁

  • @niallon11(77)· 2610d

    Good to see you on this site as well. I find it has the most interesting content for me compared to a lot of the tech stuff on STEEM. Up to 40K on my account. This must be what the early days of steem felt like.

  • @cryptoandcoffee(85)· 2610d

    I am looking forward to your sports posts and seeing how your daughter improves as she gets older. It is amazing how one year can change the times significantly and who knows how good she can become.

  • @jaraumoses(69)· 2610d

    Congrats to your daughter on attaining a personal best record.

    You stated that almost all your family is of swimmers, you did not mention yourself though hehehe!!

    I do write about sports an I have another account that I will transfer this content to.

  • @leedsunited(67)· 2610d

    ahhhh justifiable proud Dad syndrome! Swimming is one of those sports that seems to take the most effort to become competitive. I used to work next door to Leeds international pool and as I was getting into work at 8am, there were kids coming out who had been training for 2 hours already!

    Unlike football, where you can have a greasy fry up the morning after a Saturday night on the beer and still play like a hero in a Sunday League game, swimming needs absolute discipline and commitment, and its bloody hard work.

    Best wishes to her, when kids work that hard towards something and have such dedication, it can only reap great rewards in their futures in whatever they end up doing.

    Hope life is treating you kindly back in the UK mate :-)
