I understand that other niches of the country are football crazy but I dont know of anywhere else that is crazy about so many sports. And that serious coaching talents is on the sidelines because they have offspring from the same gene pool. Its all over the place around here. One of my friends used to play tennis every once in a while with Rod Laver….Rod F’in Laver!!!! His son used to live in our community. One of the top golf instructors in the country lives half a block away. Mickelson owns a house in my hood for his in laws. Dave Roberts lived here when he was on the Padres. Former next door neighbor was a D1 scholarship volleyball player and another guy in my hood has a couple Olympic volleyball medals (Gold and Silver-I’ve worn them which was one of the coolest moments in my life). Two doors down my neighbors are former D1 swimmers. There’s a world class tri-athelete around the corner. One of the top funny car racers lives a block away. This is just my neighborhood and thats not the half of it. The weather and lifestyle here is a magnet for atheletes. I bump into Tony Hawk, Rob Machado, Marshall Faulk and Shaun White from time to time.
