My most memorable athletic moment was: When I played soccer, my traveling team played this team from New York, and all of the players were brought up with soccer being their counrty's main sport (most of them were from another country).

He cut to the right and tried to roll the ball around my right side, but i reached back with my right arm and grabbed the ball at the last second before it went by me.
