“A lot of people think that you have to specialize in one sport from an early age in order to turn pro. Most of my teammates played a lot of different sports when we were kids.

“My parents put me in the water very early, and also had me skiing at a very early age. They put me on skis when I was one and a half. I was fortunate to have parents who understood the importance of exposing their kids to different sports, different cultures and different activities in order to discover what we liked and what we didn't like. They didn't push us, they just gave us many things to choose from.” DifferentKidsAgeOrderCultureSportsParentWaterHalfActivityUnderstoodImportanceFortunateExposingSkisSkiingDifferent Cultures Author:Benoit Lecomte
