I wanted to be a soccer player. I knew that couldn't happen.

I wanted to be a soccer player; I wanted to do it at the highest level.

I went to my first college to play soccer.

I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.

In high school and college, I was an athlete.

I still regret that I never played soccer in high school. I chose basketball over soccer.

I wasn't good enough to be a professional soccer player obviously but that was my first goal in life.

Playing college soccer was going to be the top of my athletic feats. I wasn't going to the Olympics. I was a decent player, but it's because of hard work, not because I was Freddy Adu. I wouldn't have a medal from the Olympics if I wasn't in a chair. I wouldn't have gone to the Olympics and experienced the whole atmosphere.

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 played soccer, recreationally, in college.
