Basketball

Basketball – As a kid I wanted to be a professional basketball player more than anything!  I played basketball probably more than 50 hours a week.  School, sleep, and life were all afterthoughts.  Of course this didn’t work out, but it was all I cared about as a kid.  If you told me that a five foot nine Jewish kid from Scarsdale who couldn’t even touch the rim was not likely to make it in the NFL, I would argue doggedly to the contrary.  This stands out as probably the first — of many — times when I picked a goal, and worked like crazy to achieve it, but failed.  That is what I do.
