For reasons that baffle me still, my high school sports coaches put me in the first division of the rugby, cricket, and soccer teams.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In my youth I thought I was going to be a professional rugby player.
Sports were a big part of my life. I was the captain of the basketball team in high school, and captain of the basketball team at Princeton.
In high school I was on the basketball team, but the coach did something I didn't dig and the next day he looked up and saw me practising with the football team.
Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.
I played sports growing up in high school.
I ran the high school newspaper and was in student government. I played sports my whole life but was never picked as captain.
This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen.
I went to a football school, which meant that I went to a university that served up education and was simultaneously operating a sports franchise.
I wasn't picked for any of the sports teams at school because I was half the size of everyone else, but now everyone assumes I must have been some sort of rugby player.
Before there was any chance to go to England, I changed schools, and it was rugby from there on in.
