My parents were present at every game and practice, and I believe their enthusiasm was rooted in their enjoyment of occasionally embarrassing me with their loud cheering and shouting as I made contact with a ball. I was a wiry goalkeeper for my soccer club and an agile shortstop for our local baseball team in the Middle East.
