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 only thing I would change is during the summer - when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.
I've taken up golf in the past five or six years, and most of the time there aren't too many people out there that can drive a ball further than I can.
I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.
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.
Growing up as a kid, the back of my house faced a little community airport about four or five miles from my house.
My sophomore year I placed 2nd, and my junior and senior year - I got smart and piled up enough points between myself and second place where I didn't have to run the mile.
I think everyone would love to see Jeff Gordon lose or get run into the wall, but I think he uses that - similar to me.
The first game was against Wake Forrest - I'll never forget that game.
Well, back when I was training, probably the only nutritious thing on the market was Gatorade - that's all that we knew.
You have a lot of people on the run and really don't have time to sit down and eat a balanced meal.
So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.
It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.
