As long as you're not obnoxious, both are acceptable.

I agree completely. I told my friend that I was on the team that won a national competition (she asked me if I played a sport) and she said something along the lines of "That's really braggy. I'm okay with it but if you tell anybody else that they will get annoyed because that's a very bitchy thing to say." and then she left. ...umm...

That's stupid. You obviously worked very hard and deserve to be proud of your achievement. I tell people I'm a black belt because I'm proud and I worked for years to get where I am. There's nothing wrong with that. If I was going around saying, "Oh, well I'm an amazing black belt, look at all my medals and how awesome I am!" then that would be an issue. But if the topic comes up, it's something I'd tell because I'm proud, and if people ask about it, I'll tell them.

Thanks. And what sport do you play? That's a pretty big deal to win a national competition.

Cheerleading, if you consider that a sport xD Some would disagree

I absolutely consider it a sport. It is NOT easy, and if you're actually competing, then it's totally legitimate. Some "teams" stand on the sidelines waving pom poms about and chanting and nothing else, and that's not what I consider cheerleading to be.

I'm not a cheerleader, but I have friends who are/were and it is most definitely a sport!
