Then in a fraction of a second, I realized that these sportsmen were not anyone's enemies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There were very few people who were both intercollegiate athletes and Star Men.
When I used to play sports, I'd be the one cheering the team on, 'Come on, we can beat these guys!' That's just in me.
The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.
They see themselves as athletes and only athletes.
I played baseball in college but I didn't identify with the jocks, I was in my own little world .
People were actually approaching me on the street and thinking that I was an athlete. They couldn't quite place it, but a runner, or swimmer or something.
I wasn't athletic. I played baseball, but I was terrible.
Everyone thinks I'm this jock of a woman, but I didn't play any sports. I didn't even let my kids play baseball because I was afraid they were going to get hit by balls.
I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes.
I never played sports. I wasn't any good at them.
