It was a much-needed respite. Nimbly flicking a soccer ball from his feet to his head, Conway looked at ease. That ball bounces from foot to foot, to his knee, followed by a couple headers. The routine repeats. Soccer remains Conway's real love.
Football is a close second.
He only picked up the latter during his sophomore year of high school. To the amazement of everybody, the kicks were splitting the uprights. Suitably impressed, the coaches asked him to join the team, but Conway wasn't convinced it was the right move. He went home, mentioned it casually to his parents and put off the decision. His parents didn't think much of it.
