Doesn’t matter how minor or unimpressive.

I won my school sports day sack race in year 5 and I’m still living off that high.

    I was the captain of my high school basketball team for five minutes.

    All the regular players (ie the actual sporty kids) had clashes with other things so the school team was made up of all the gets-picked-last rejects, including me. Given that university applications were being discussed with increasing vigour by our teachers we decided we’d take it in turns to be captain so we could all legitimately put it on our UCAS forms.

    We got utterly humiliated by a team made of what I can only assume were ringers from the NBA (not a man of them was under 8 feet tall or thereabouts). Didn’t matter to us, though, we were living the dream of being athletes.
