In those days I was terrible at athletics and never made a team, but quite easily led my class in academics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wasn't athletic. I played baseball, but I was terrible.
I ran track. I ran cross country. But I did not play organized basketball in high school, at least on our team. But I played a lot of sports.
My first year of college was tough. I thought that just being an athlete I could get by. I thought I was okay until I got kicked out, which happened twice.
My real-life athletic career was not very much. I played Little League baseball.
I was a sickly child, not very strong physically. I wasn't really the greatest in school. I didn't really excel in anything particularly. But I was happy with who I was.
Even though arguably I could have done much better at school, I'd decided at a young age that I was going to be a professional sportsman at some sport. And at that stage, there was a bit of luck: I was fortunate to meet the right people at the right time to get me to where I am now.
I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.
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.
In high school and college, I was an athlete.
I was no great achiever at school, either academically or in the sporting field... I was always tending to be in trouble.
