    Re: What did you want to be when you grew up?

    I wanted to be a High School teacher and a Basketball coach.
    Growing up and attending a small school in Indiana the Bball coach was the most important guy in town.
    The coach at our school was a Bob Knight clone and when I was in elementery school I thought he was a god!! lol

        I am going to join the 99% of the people because I wanted to be a professional baseball player. But then after awhile, I wanted to be a professional bull rider(a cowboy). Then, I wanted to be a businessman, much like my father.

        Well, I have lived two of those 3 dreams in a sense. I played Little League baseball all my life and played HS baseball up until my Senior year when I quit the team for what now are stupid reasons.

        Also while in HS on summer breaks and first part of college, I rode in rodeos around the local area. Not traveling too terribly far, but I thought that I was something driving to these events with my gear in the back of my pickup. Well, after about two years, several broken bones and one too many concussions later, I decided that I would go back to school to follow in my father's footsteps.

        And a year from this May, I will graduate college with my degrees in Business Management and in Business Finance. I also have an associate's degree in Economics which I don't know why I wasted time on, but hey, I met a lot of cute girls in those classes that wanted nothing to do with me. (ha-ha)
        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

              Want to and still want to play pro football (most likely CFL). I've also been interested in being on sports talk radio.

                  Journalist or a MLB General Manager.

                  I spent a couple years in the minors on my path to being a GM. Although I loved the job, it was a very low paying and a very nomadic lifestyle.

                  After I left baseball, I latched on with a newspaper and never looked back.
                  Overall satisfaction also makes the decline!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    Be a doctor, make video games or own a business. Right now i'm in sales, and I've been wanting to change careers but I hate the trap it gets you in because you can make so much money. So hopefully I can keep doing well in sales, save money and create a company of my own.

                        Second baseman for the Reds when I was kid.

                        Middle school/high school, wanted to do something in sports but I wasn't sure what. Senior year of high school, found out I was pretty good at writing, did that in college and haven't looked back.

                          I've stopped doing that.

                          Now I just berate my players when they do something stupid.

                            I still do that today. My dad and brother used to think I was crazy because I was talking to myself.

                                You do not know about berating players until you've heard me playing MLB or Fifa. Or really any sports game. On XBL.
