I used to wear glasses when I was at school, and so I found sport very difficult. I wanted to be involved in school sports competitions, and I loved the idea of teams competing with each other, but being on the rugby team, for example, meant having to take off my glasses, and that meant that I couldn’t see! And it’s difficult to catch a ball when you can’t see it! So, I wasn’t very good and the captains always made sure that I wasn’t on their team. This meant I was free to do other activities, like being on the debating team, and actually I preferred to do things I was good at doing rather than have everyone laugh at me.
