I'm very passionate about the use of sports in young people's lives to build self-esteem and self-discipline and self-confidence. It's been a big thing for me.

I've always had an interest in sports across the board.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

For me, sports is a big part of my life. It helped me through high school. It helped me get better grades, because if you don't have good grades, you can't play sports.

I played sports growing up in high school.

Since childhood, sports has been one of the most important influences in my life.

And I've never taken up a sport just because it was a social fad.

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

For many of us, sport has provided the continuity in our lives, the alternative family to the one we left behind. It gives us something to talk about, to preen about, to care about.
