Steve Anderson

The Salt Lake Tribune has an interesting feature on Steve Anderson, a member of the US Archery team (and is currently ranked 4th in the country). He played basketball at ISU for a season, if I remember correctly, when Joe O'Brien was coach. Anderson states back injuries caused him to quit basketball...

The Team USA member started shooting archery when he was 13 years old but put down the bow and arrow when he was 15 to focus on basketball. While he secured a roster spot on Idaho State's basketball team, multiple back injuries led him to quit.

"I though my life had basketball ahead of it," Anderson said. "I though I was going to see the world by playing is some low-level European league, and that's what I would do for a few years after college and that was how I would see the world. But an injury happened and life changes, and I end up shooting archery."
