I wonder if you could simply say something like,
"That is very resonant for me because of my own childhood. I imagine that there are others in this group who may have hard memories around this too..." (See even one person nod, and you won't feel so "different". You're an asset to groups like that, not a liability...remember. You do deserve to be present, part of the community. Feeling emotion is not a disqualifier.)

I know what it's like to be bullied and see your child be bullied. It's excruciating.
I'm very sorry.

(I hate most sports training too, as it plays to the worst in our culture, imo.)
