A strange title indeed, but to compare this guy to Bill Clinton would be an insult.

From the article:

We taught them that an athlete has to be disciplined,” Robert Wang explained, also referring to younger son David, an offensive lineman who completed his freshman season at Virginia Tech. “We told them, ‘An athlete has to put in a lot of extra effort. You’re different than normal people. You have a big future.”’

It wasn’t easy.

Ed Wang wasn’t allowed to have a girlfriend until he earned a scholarship. He couldn’t attend movies with his friends, or go over for sleepovers. And then there was waking up at 7 a.m. every Saturday to run sprints.

And he’s grateful for it.

“They really prepared me for everything, all the life challenges that I’ve been through,” he said. “They told me, life wasn’t easy. Nothing comes free. And I always took that with me. And it’s been a part of me ever since.”
