As a high school jock, I couldn't imagine not playing sports in college.
But at my Division III college, I was forced to focus too much on my sports.
After injuring myself for life, I regret being a college athlete.

I love sports. If you give me a ball and an open field, I'll play for hours. Give me wings and a TV with a game, that's all I need.
