Best Answer

He was an enthusiastic athlete, playing soccer, Rugby and Baseball as a child.[5] His passion was for Basketball and though he stood only five feet tall and was a poor player at the time, Fox sought to make his school team in grade eight. His physical education teacher and basketball coach at Mary Hill Junior High School felt he was better suited to be a distance runner and encouraged him to take up the sport. Fox had no desire for cross-country running, but took it up because he respected and wanted to please his coach.[6] He was determined to continue playing basketball, even if he was the last substitute on the team. Fox played only one minute in his grade eight season but dedicated his summers to improving his play. He became a regular player in grade nine and earned a starting position in grade ten.[7] In grade 12, he won his high school's athlete of the year award jointly with his best friend Doug Alward.[2]
