My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with the bad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My dad was my coach in baseball and early on in basketball, so playing baseball was something we always did.
My dad is a good role model for me, and then I had a high school coach that really helped me out when I was struggling and made a big difference in my life.
I think I started learning lessons about being a good person long before I ever knew what basketball was. And that starts in the home, it starts with the parental influence.
I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.
My family always helped me. I had people around me who always pushed me to be the best: my dad, my mum. My dad used to play and coach as well. But I wasn't born with shiny things.
I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid.
I learned a lot from my father. I'm very lucky to have a father who was a professional athlete.
My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball.
My dad was my first coach and drove me extremely hard from a very young age.
I played basketball to try to get my parents from working so hard.
