I've got four brothers, so with them and all our friends we had these sports parties in the basement. We'd play basketball, mini-sticks, baseball in the backyard, football, whatever it was. We were busy 24/7.

You have no confidence when you come out of surgery because you can't really do anything. You're like, 'Man, am I ever going to heal?'
