Growing up, I was a pretty competitive kid. I grew up with two brothers and we all played sports like basketball, baseball, football, hockey, golf, and tennis. This is where I developed my sense of competition. The thing I always loved about sports is that success can be measured quantitatively and in absolute terms. The score is the score, and it’s how you differentiate between winners and losers.
