User blog:TheLostGreatBeing/Special Olympics: One more sport for me?

Okay, I may have mentioned before that I am an athlete for Special Olympics (Where at? I'm not saying). I've joined since I was a seven year old. Here are all the sports I've done since then: Today, my mom suggested that I should do (and you won't believe this) POWERLIFTING. She said it would help me gain some muscle (which I admit I need) and another way to "get social". To be honest, I REALLY don't want to do it.
 * Basketball (2001-)
 * Track and Field (2002-)
 * Bowling (2003-)
 * Flag Football (2002-2003)
 * Cycling (2009-)
 * Long-distance walking (2003-2003)
 * Long-distance running (2009-)
 * Softball (2003-)
 * And possibly one more...

I mean, If you had a good look at me, I would look nothing like a kind of guy who'd like to do it. My uncle is a powerlifter for Special Olympics (with Down Syndrome) and he's everything you'd expect out of a powerlifter: short, all-muscle, and not very agile. I'm pretty much the opposite. I'm tallish, thin, and really agile. I'm much more of a basketball player or a cross-country runner. I'm really good at those sports, but powerlifting?!

Plus, being a powerlifter would come with a lot of downsides: I'd have to get some kind of tough nickname, I'd have to get in an embarassing singlet and other crap, and I'd have a lot of attention while I'm lifting (which I don't really like getting in my non-internet life).

I'll try it only once, just to see what it's like. Then after that, I'll just keep saying no if I hate it. But If I like it, I'll keep doing it. But I still think that it would suck ass for me. What do you guys think?
