I used to sleep, eat, breathe volleyball. Now I have that with my kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a volleyball player as a kid. I played volleyball all the time.
I played volleyball for the greater part of my life, since I was 11 or 12 years.
Volleyball was a lot of fun, but I knew it wasn't my sport.
I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.
I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then I'd go baseball, and then I'd go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.
Volleyball was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
I was one of those kids who, everything I tried sports-related, I liked.
The only exercise I got as a kid was fork to mouth. Food was equated with love in my household. I thought you left the table when the zipper was down and you'd explode if you took another bite. I'd eat my plate and then everyone else's leftovers.
As a kid, I used to love to play baseball and be in Little League and sleep outside with my friends and do all those kind of things.
Handball, swimming, running, jumping, basketball, and boxing were as much a part of me as breathing.
