"Atari was very big when I was in eighth grade, and I
did play some games. Not quite as much as kids are
playing now, but I think I learned a lot of hand-eye
coordination playing them."
"I'm now a soccer mom. I stand on the sidelines and I
hear the things parents are saying, so I want them to
understand what it is their kids are feeling in any
sports environment."
