I was impressionable at that age, and my high school coach did such an unbelievable job helping me, so I want to do that for other kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a parent, you have to be good coach and bad coach, and I think in the college-application process, I didn't want to be bad coach. 'This is amazing! I'm so proud of you!' That's the role I wanted with my kids.
I could maybe coach kids' basketball. I know enough about basketball where I feel like I could coach 12-year-olds pretty effectively.
I just want to be a great example to younger kids.
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.
I was recruited to teach 9-year-olds. I taught for two years.
In 16, 17 years as a pro I was used to the head coach doing it alone. He might have asked his people for advice, but he made the decisions on his own. In order to learn quickly I couldn't do that.
I fell in love with coaching. I loved interacting with young people, having the opportunity to make a tremendous impression on them.
Well I was eight years old, and I have an older cousin who is three years older than me and she was doing acting, commercials, and modeling at the time and... to see my cousin doing that was really inspiring and I wanted to do it. So I went to my mom and I asked her if I could do it, and for the acting part of it, she made me study for a year.
I was 5 years old when I did my first catwalk and did commercials at 16. I went professional after my studies.
Up until I was about 12, I was a ballet dancer and a basketball player.
