I had played in a tournament with the captain of the University of Minnesota's golf team, and he thought I was good. He called his coach, and the coach called me and recruited me. A five-minute phone call changed my life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 really believe God called on me to coach, and that is the reason I stayed in it for so long.
It's been the video game ever since I got out of coaching. Even when I was an announcer, fewer and fewer people remembered me as 'Coach,' and as the years went on, people just started knowing me from the game.
I was a keen sportsman, and became school captain in soccer and cricket.
I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.
Had I been a great athlete, I'm not sure I would have even gone into coaching. I may have turned out feeling that my life ended when my athletic career ended, as happens so many times with various athletes.
If someone remembers me as a coach, they still call me 'Coach,' but if they know me for the video game, they just call me 'Madden.'
I played sports in high school and in college.
Sports were a big part of my life. I was the captain of the basketball team in high school, and captain of the basketball team at Princeton.
I was captain of the volleyball team and the basketball team, and I ran track.
