Option 2:

As a young kid when I was not playing hockey yet I used to speed skate and I was pretty good at it too. I was born in the Netherlands and speed skating is kind of a big deal there. So is field hockey, but somehow ice hockey is not. But big issue is the lack of facilities and that football is such a huge sport back home. I used to excell at the short distances (sprinting) too on the skating track. The 500 and 1000 meter were my specialties. I did not win many races, but was top 3 in many of them. Then we moved to Germany and I got in touch with hockey and I was hooked. In Germany many hockey players also play a little bit of football on the side. So I got pretty decent at that as well. I think overall hockey players are pretty good at everything as we are quite athletic.
