Handball, swimming, running, jumping, basketball, and boxing were as much a part of me as breathing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sports have always been a big part of my life. At school, I played a lot of different sports, and I was competing with other schools. I did everything: running, volleyball, basketball, soccer, Olympic-style gymnastics, and more! My history with sports gave me good concentration, focus, strength, and motivation to stay healthy.
I did everything - swimming, dancing, and badminton as well as tennis. It was always tennis that I really loved, though.
I was always athletic and I could do a lot of things.
I always enjoyed sport. I was a bit of a wild child, to be honest, and just loved running around.
Fortunately, I have always played a lot of sports, so I keep my lungs in good shape. That translates to singing as well.
I played all kinds of sports when I was young: tennis, handball, basketball, some soccer. I focused on basketball when I was 16 or 17 and then came to the U.S. when I was 20.
I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.
I used to sleep, eat, breathe volleyball. Now I have that with my kids.
I can play basketball, run track, and play volleyball, so yeah, I've always been an athlete at heart.
Basketball would have been the natural sport to play, but it's a little too aggressive for me, so instead I dabbled in volleyball and some good old-fashioned Roller Derby.
