I can remember running around at the age of 3, wanting to play golf, cricket and football. I was always active, one way or another, driving my parents mad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.
I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.
When I was a little boy, I always wanted to run. I loved competing with my friends.
I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14.
I actually ran in junior high school a little bit, you know, like most kids do in track and things. Then I got out of it and just trained for football and played ball for so many years - high school, college and the NFL.
Summer I was 13, my grandfather and my father taught me how to play golf. I took lessons that summer, and I played every day that summer. I probably would've kept playing, except I realized that girls don't watch golf; they watch tennis. So I let my golf game go dormant and started playing tennis.
I can't remember when I wasn't running around doing some sort of a sporting activity.
In high school, I did a little track and field and ran on my own. In college, I would run every now and again, but I didn't have enough time to be devoted to it.
I didn't start jogging or running until I was 37 years old. It was something that really helped me change my life.
Growing up, I was always into sports - basketball and volleyball - but I wasn't really a runner.
