I was 5-foot-8 when I graduated high school, but then I shot up to 6-foot-4 and got more into playing basketball.
I was a gymnast for 13 years, so I was heavy into sports.
I started modeling when I was about 2 or 3 years old; I started with Baby Guess, and I did Guess Kids, and that was the extent of my modeling career as a kid. I took all of my elementary, middle and high school years off to focus on school and sports.
I was an average student. Not a dunce. Used to play for the school football team.
When I was a kid, I was always an athlete. I played a lot of sports. I played football, basketball, baseball and soccer.
My family's been coming to my games since I was in grade school.
I lived in Cleveland for a summer when I was 12, and I was a ball boy for the Browns, which few people know.
My folks, I don't think my mom or my dad ever missed a little league game or a football game.
I was 13, and my dad actually sent photos to two different agencies of all of my family, and I had no idea. I was such a tomboy. I was playing basketball, living in Sweden, I didn't give a sh*t - I mean, obviously did not have dreams to be a model.
I'll be a fan of the XFL, and if they want me to do something, then I'd love to... not to play. I'm not gonna play. I'm done with that, but everything else is fair game.
I was on the high school track team, believe it or not, and played baseball, poorly but passionately.
Sports are my passion. They have been since I was a kid. So I think I'll be involved in sports in some capacity no matter what I do.
I couldn't see well enough to play (baseball) when I was a boy, so they gave me a special job - they made me an umpire.
I've always been physical. I loved sports growing up. I was never specifically a dancer or anything like that.
We learn a lot of life lessons in how we play this great game, and I've been fortunate enough to be involved in it at every level.
I'm a sports-watcher. I played football and baseball, coached baseball. So I watch those things.
I'm a jock.
As I get older, I find myself way more into sports. I'm in a basketball league. You maybe know some of the people in it. They're real people, not fake ones like me.
If you play the video game, you become more interested and you want to know more about it. You want to read as much about it as you can, see it live and watch as many games as you can. If you're the type who wants to be as involved as you can in the sport, you're probably going to want to play 'Madden NFL.'
As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
I'm still making my decision in the next few days on what path I'm going to take. What really makes me excited now is to continue to give back to the sport.
For the next approximately three years, I have got Nathan to take care of. I know that once he graduates from high school, he will be off doing whatever it is he is going to be doing - probably playing ice hockey.
I have been president of the Indian Kabbadi Association, and likewise, I have been associated with various other sports as well.
I helped my dad do landscaping from when I was 14, and then every summer when I'd come home for college, I'd play on a travel baseball team, but during the day, I'd do landscaping.
I don't want my kids to be on the streets period. I want my kids to be nerds. I want them to be book smart or playing sports - I don't want them to know nothing about the streets.
