My history with sports began when I was 4 years old. I played baseball until I was 16 for a total of 12 years. I played on numerous all star teams from age 7 to age 12, and then again at age 15. I started basketball at age 7 and played until I was 14. I was on the all star team from age 9 to age 13. I also played football for one year, but didn't like playing. Baseball and basketball are my favorite sports, but I also enjoy football.
When I was little, the leagues I was in consisted of all guys with the exception of a couple girls. Whenever we would play against them nobody gave them a chance.
When I played sports my whole family got involved with it. My brother started baseball and basketball before me and I followed behind with it. My dad was the assistant coach and I would be the bat boy. My whole family would go and cheer us on. It definatly brought us closer as a family. It also impacted my education because school came first and if I didn't do well in school, I couldn't play in the game.
The media impacts my view on sports when I watch ESPN. Generally if a topic is being debated I pick a side on each discussion. The media is very straight forward and let their opinions known about certain topics which sometimes affect the way I look at things.
