Know someone both smart AND athletically gifted?

<p>LoL Chriscap, that would be a high grade :D</p>

<p>I think its more like: He divides the number of pushups we do in class by the number of atoms in his muscles and then multiplies by the force necessary to lift a penny.</p>

<p>But yeah, I vote our physics teacher ^_^</p>

<p>Noam Elkies</p>

<p>^_^ he is strong</p>

<p>Noam Chomsky</p>

<p>chomsky is in good shape?</p>

<p>wow that's pretty impressive</p>

<p>Yea.. I swim, but I feel like when I'm in shape and stuff, I don't get as good grades.. and then when I'm studying and taking a break from swimming, I feel a little smarter. I say "feel" because I don't really have definitive results..</p>

<p>At my school, we don't even know what lacrosse is.. We only have a couple people recruited, and only to state schools. However, one swimmer I know is going to Harvard. She's a 4.0 student, the studious-smart type, and half mexican..</p>

<p>eh, I doubt he's in good shape,
but when your name is Noam Chomsky, what does it really matter?</p>

<p>I'm (I hope) pretty "smart", and can't say I'm all that physically fit, but I'm not completely horrible at sports. I mean, when choosing teams, I'm one of the first to go... or maybe it's just because I'm tall, and look fit...</p>

<p>yes. only nerds assume smart people are always puny</p>

<p>I didn't do any sports in school for pure lazyness, but I am pretty good in running, soccer, frisbee, and volleyball. Besides having a kickass stamina.
I am still a weakling though, but that can be fixed one day (hopefully)</p>

<p>BCC um no offense...but that means your a GEEK!</p>

<p>Well, I wouldn't say I'm too smart, but uh, yeah, I'm trying to participate in each sport except for wrestling. I'm not even trying to participate in wrestling, I'm just THERE each year and started in wrestling-like sports from 1st grade (djudo 'til 4th or 5th, then free-style). I was off from wrestling sports in 6th, 7th and I don't remember which other grade.</p>

<p>Sean123,</p>

<p>No, it just means you have an idiotic definition of a geek. </p>

<p>While we are it, does anybody know what the actual definition of a geek is?</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Well I'm not athletically gifted but I am smart and could play ball good and hit the volleyball like it was my old drama teacher. Hahaha. I don't really know anybody who is smart as hell and an Olympic type athlete but I know some people who are very smart and athletic, and who are athletically gifted but average.</p>

<p>Yeah, my best friend is like a genius and is the captain of 2 varsity sports this year. She got an 800 on the writing part of the SAT and near perfect on math & CR</p>

<p>Most of the people that are in the top 10% (which is 5 people) at my school aren't heavily involved in sports because it'd be impossible to practice for sports a lot and do the studying necessary to be really highly ranked at our school, but we do have really intelligent people who get awesome SAT scores and are really really good at sports. We have a recruited swimmer going to Yale (who wasn't near the top 10%) and also a recruited tennis player going to Dartmouth (again, not near the top 10%)</p>

<p>I know an internationally ranked squash player who is also one of the wittiest and smartest people I've ever come across. He's a 3-season athlete (soccer, squash, and baseball). He's an incoming freshman at Brown.</p>

<p>There are alot of kids at my school who excel in both academics and athletics.</p>

<p>I'm sure that there are a number of Scholar Athletes out there. I mean, there's a purpose for this title, right?</p>

<p>I am athletically gifted at sitting on my a$$ infront of the TV with a bag of chips and a pepsi. (that goes for the computer too). Oh, and I'm not that good at school either. I think that it's safe to say that I am "someone both smart AND athletically gifted."</p>

<p>BCC has a horrible name and is also horrible at video games.</p>
