Nice question, i had never really thought about how it changed my life.
i was 5"5, weighed 190 pounds (and no it wasn't muscle lol), was very insecure and didn't like to exercise... until i went with some friends to play paintball.
after about 4 games of playing, i knew this was the sport that i needed!. i gained confidence, even became a ref at my local field, made some cool friends and it gave me the final kick to the a$$ that i needed to exercise.
Now i am a fitness junkie hitting the gym about 5 times a week and still loving the sport.
oh and whenever someone asks me about paintball i just can't stop talking lol.
i guess i am just very passionate about this
