I made the varsity team as a freshman at 15. Then, I tore a tendon and never fully recovered. I was a shortstop, then third baseman, then second baseman.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The fact is, when I was 15 and a sophomore at high school, I played on the varsity baseball team for the college.
In high school and college, I was an athlete.
I wasn't a jock in school, and by the 10th grade, when I was in boarding school I was carrying water buckets for the girls' hockey team. I was the kid with long hair and glasses and acne trying to learn how to play guitar and piano in the music center. I was not an athlete past the age of 13 or 14 when they start throwing the ball really fast.
I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.
I was heavily into sport from 10 to 15, I was in all the teams, and it was everything to me. But I was very young for my school year and when puberty kicked in for my classmates I got left behind.
Growing up, I played softball and I was a cheerleader.
Freshman year, I was 95 pounds and 4 feet 10 inches. So you can imagine what my football uniform looked like - my shoulder pads were bigger than my body!
Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.
I was a volleyball player as a kid. I played volleyball all the time.
As a junior in high school, I had some injury problems with my arm and shoulder from baseball, so I didn't play quarterback as a junior. I played a little wide receiver, linebacker, and safety.
