A person and his hobbies… There are those who enjoy reading, watching movies, collecting objects, making craft beer … and those who prefer something a little more exciting, like playing sports!
You love sports, from that unpretentious Sunday morning football with your friends to the more radical sports like surfing, mountain climbing or mountain biking.
