Post your alpha sporting moment here...
Mine was back in high school, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, I was 17.
My coed school was quite big into water-polo and I had been the 1st team goalie since I was 15 and had represented my province (county).
Anyway, every Thursday evening we would play the club mens teams at our pool for extra experience and this particular evening we had a game against the u18 girls provincial team (75% were from my school anyway so not such a big deal as we would train together and hang out all the time).
During the 1st huddle inbetween chukkas (quarters) as a laugh I proposed doing a buffel maneuver (looking back now it equates to an alpha maneuver).
The plan would be, if the ball was in our half by the time the end of game 10 second whistle blew - the ball would be passed back to me in goal for a shot at their goal.
So the 10 second whistle blows, the ball is with my center back - all my team nearby are chanting 'buffel, buffel, buffel'
The ball bounces perfectly on the water in front of me, in one smooth move I scoop it up and, putting my back, arm and shoulder into it, launch the ball 25 metres towards the opposing goals.
Mid flight the end game whistle blows - the ball lands on the water, a meter short of the goals and bounces swiftly to the back of the net - GOOAAaalll!!
This would have been an easy save if it wasn't for the goalie having a conversation with her coach at the time, but I digress.
My whole team erupts - BUFFEL!
It was an epic moment, the stuff of legends, something mentioned as an 'oh let's try this' became reality, I was nicknamed 'the Buffel™' ever since amonst my team. Not to mention more attention from the girls - most of them being hawt
Perhaps you had to be there but it would have made an awesome ending to a high school basketball feel good disney type movie
The scene was pretty much like this (in my mind at least)
So what's your sporting tale of cool?
