I played a season of junior footy when I was 13. As it turns out, I realised I wasn't that great (I have a lousy kick haha). Although I knew I wasnt that great, I still really enjoyed playing. I didn't play another season and instead of working on my kick, I instead became interested in game tactics and positionings. I then coached my old schools year 7 basketball team a couple years ago in a round robin style tournament. We didn't win, but it was still a lot of fun doing it!
Also, I'm really enjoying reading some if the stories flying around here. Some great stuff!
