Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.

But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

I didn't feel that I really fit in anywhere. So when I was young I always had to prove myself through my sporting ability.

But I was very much into sports when I was a child.

Sports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that's all I can do. It's the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.

Ever since I was young, I played sports.

In any small town, sports are really important to the high school, and I wasn't very good at sports.

I played sports growing up in high school.

By the time I was 8 years old, sports had pretty much taken over my life.
