"Sports saved my life." — Caitlyn Jenner

My wife Kris and I enjoy keeping an active lifestyle, so it's hard to imagine what it would be like if breathing problems kept me from participating in the activities I love to do. But that's exactly what happens to many people who develop COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

My knee has always given me problems. But it got to the point where I actually had to start giving up things. And I hate that.

I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.

We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.

I was a dyslexic kid.

I'm very laid back, easy. There's nothing better in life than seeing your kids do well.

If you want to call me names, make jokes and doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is I can take it.
