Although Donald Trump would end up only playing golf competitively as an adult, the young student athlete was a big fan of a couple others. Trump loved both soccer (pictured above) and American football. His love could possibly be explained by Trump’s exceptional, natural raw talent with both. He didn’t pursue becoming a professional athlete for either sports, but he would eventually make his dreams come true by owning a professional football team later in life. It would be his attempt to create a separate, competing professional football league outside of the National Football League.
