All this means for me is I'm still bad at sports!

Aaahhh, but you are not looking at this correctly, now whenever your family says you need to stop playing video games, you just say you are working out, preparing for the next athletic competition Bet you are the best athlete in your family

I'm an athlete in mindsports.

It's kind of funny when you think about it. Our brain, hand eye coordination and ability to reason is quite literally what seperates us from the other animals on the planet...yet physical activity is somehow seen as legitimate and right, while "electronic" or "mind sports" is seen as silly by a lot of people.
