What is your most memorable sports moment? (growing up or coaching)

My most memorable sports moment was stepping into the pool for the first time to try diving and the national team coach came up to me and told me to join his team. I would not have been where I am today in diving if he didn't see my potential or believe in me. I spent my first couple weeks following and training along side who is now an Olympian. I will never forget how cool I thought it was to get to train with the "big kids".
