I grew up in Strongsville, Ohio which is a small suburb of Cleveland. I remember playing soccer as young as five or six and played all the way until I was in high school. I also enjoyed playing volleyball, but wasn't into it as much as I was into soccer. It was like the sport of the decade. We had the Force in Cleveland and they were great ~ I remember everyone wanting to be like Otto Orf,
Fortunately for me I had a dad who was and still is very into sports. He got me into loving football, I used to be able to name all the NFL teams and their quarterbacks and coaches. I was never a huge fan of baseball, but on occasion you would catch me at a game.
My dad also loved golf and basketball - long gone are the days of Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman, but I have been to my share of golf matches and really do enjoy the sport. Then there is basketball....I do enjoy watching it, but playing it was never my thing. I did enjoy playing it with the Serbian National Federation and going away a couple of times, but more importantly I enjoyed spending time with friends and seeing new places.
Overall I am a sports lover and still enjoy being active and playing. If I had to tell you my favorite teams they would be the OSU Buckeyes, Cleveland Browns, Chicago Blackhawks, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Lake Erie Monsters.
