I've always been an attack-minded player. I played striker in high school and was a playmaker when playing with friends. But as I got older I realized that I just don't have the quick feet to be going at defenders all the time. I was mediocre at best. So recently I started playing defense - both in college and with friends - and I've been getting better at it with every game. The last game I played, which was today, I absolutely dominated. I'm pretty strong and have decent speed, plus I read the game very well and I distribute the ball from the back with pretty good accuracy. The point is, I'm a much better player as a defender than I ever could have been as an attacker. And even though you generally think of defense as being less fun than offense, I have a lot of fun because I'm playing well.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar transformation over the years.
