What was the moment you fell in love with sports?

We miss sports so much that we asked ourselves why we fell in love with sports in the first place. There are our stories -- and we want yours, too. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

What's *the* moment you fell in love with sports?

As our days go mostly without sports and as we yearn for the sneakers squeak on a breakaway layup or the elation of a game-winning goal, that's the question on our minds.

What was that moment, that reason, you became a sports fan?

We want to know when the magic struck for you, and we want you to tell us, so we can share them with the USA TODAY Sports community. Starting today, we'll be spotlighting our stories and yours in this Sports newsletter, as well as on social media and on our website. You can still scroll down and get all your sports headlines as usual. But as the days tick on and the scoreboards stay at zero, we thought you could use a dose of nostalgia when you open up your email, too.

Our first memory comes from USA TODAY Sports columnist Christine Brennan:

"Imagine a child, a young sports fan, living so near a college campus that she could see the glow of the football stadium lights from her front yard. Imagine her walking to the football stadium with her dad, cheering for the team playing in that stadium for three consecutive years, and never once leaving disappointed. That team, her team, never lost a game for three straight years. You're a young fan, and you throw your heart and soul into a team, and it never, ever lets you down. That young fan was me, and that's when I fell in love with sports." ( Read the rest of Christine's story here.)

Now, it's your turn:

  • Email usatodaysports@usatoday.com your "the moment I fell in love with sports" story. Attach photos if you have them.
  • Tell your friends, families, and fellow fans to subscribe to this newsletter so they can check it out, too.
  • Share if you'd like to get involved! USA TODAY Sports is on Facebook and Twitter. We miss sports, and we'd love to talk sports with you.
  • Enjoy your regular sports headlines below. And thank you for being part of the USA TODAY Sports newsletter community.
