I dabbled in football myself until the age of 14, but I didn't have as much love for the sport as I did track and field. I would never have been good enough to take it to the highest level.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I played football in high school, I played baseball when I was younger, things like that, but I think it was the passion I had for track where you want to do an individual sport and be the best, I think - there's nothing that can replace that.
Football was a wonderful experience for me. It was a means of, oh, I don't know, sustaining for much of my youth. In times of trouble, I've always had football. I always knew I was a football player. And that was a comfort on many occasions.
I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.
I did enjoy football, but the injury factor for me, you know, I had so many issues. I don't know how long my career would've been.
Up until the age of 16, I was very focused on sport - I played a lot of football. Then I tore my ACL and had to stop playing.
I started playing football young, and my career was on the pitch.
I've been through a lot off the field. I think that kind of translates onto the field. Football serves for a lot of life lessons, and so it allows me to stay humble and continue to work.
I played football all my life throughout high school and ran track.
I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.
I always played sports when I was young. I played football and baseball for eight years. I loved football.
