I think its great that andrew (i can call you andrew right
) is passionate about other things besides atlhetics and sports. Its good because its good not to dedicate your entire life to athletic training without having a backup career plan. Unless you are one of the professional athletes who have their sports as their job.
I remember seeing this prince of bel air episode about this guy who had a kid and will and this guy were in a basketball competition and will let the other guy win because he had a kid and the other guy said that he wants the money for a scholarship for engineering as once you screw your knees in the nba thats it your career is done.
I myself would like to learn as much skills as i can, not only athletics, but others as well i love to learn about computers, programming, i would like to learn to be good at boxing, basketball, as well as programming, engineering, science i love to learn all these things. But some people's interest differ to others interest. Athletics and sport is not a career choice but a hobby which i try to excel at nothing i will dedicate my entire life to but as much effort i can muster.
Andrew motivated me to try achieve my goals and has helped a lot, but probably athletics didn't workout for him.
The important thing is you go out there achieve your goals whatever it may be.
i hope i have not said anything that may have offended anyone.
