Playing athletics, playing a lot of different sports, going to drama school... I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, so I ended up being pretty average at everything.
A lot of these angles are really about trying to mimic broadcast sports angles in order to anchor the scene, to sort of normalize it before it becomes abstracted.
I've always been into sports and being physical.
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
Chess only appeals to quite a small minority. It does not have the cachet of a mainstream popular sport.
My favourite sport is cheerleading!
If someone were to actually come to one of our training sessions, there's lots of flipping and sweating and crying and blood going on all over the place. I mean, if that doesn't qualify it as a sport, then I don't know what does.
For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards, they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It's not like we're denying them hospital care.

I would say my first golf memory was asking who Arnold Palmer was when he was always on the Pennzoil commercials. When I was a little kid I watched a lot of sports, but I didn't watch a lot of golf, and this guy was always on a tractor.
The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.
I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.
I was a pretty normal high school kid. I just loved to play sports and had opportunities, and the Lord blessed me with talent, and I just tried to take advantage of it.
I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.
Sports have become increasingly more specialized, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be fun.
No one likes a show-off, but if parallel parking was an Olympic sport, I would get gold, no probs.
