In baseball, I was a pitcher, which I hated because there was no action there.

I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me. I could throw the discus for great distance s without the proper spin and throw technique.

The first game was against Wake Forrest - I'll never forget that game.

I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.

I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. "I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college," I said. (I was just kidding).

I took a lot of things for granted - especially how I treated my body.

My favorite driver is always either the bad guy or the underdog.
