(AUDIO) JUSTIN MOORE TRADED A BASEBALL TEAM FOR A BAND

Justin Moore pretty much knew college wasn’t for him, but he gave it a shot for two weeks.  “What I was gonna do was be a physical therapist or a physical trainer, in the sense that, one that traveled with like a baseball team or … whether it be college or professional, some kind of ball team.”

He was inspired to consider that as a career by his mom.  Justin says, “Right around the time I was graduating high school, my mom had surgery on her leg or something and had to have therapy done.  And she was like, ‘I could see you doing that.’  And I was like, yeah, if I could do it with a ball team or something, that’d be cool.  So that was kind of always in the back of my mind.”

Since Justin’s country music dreams materialized, his physical trainer career never did.  But he still gets to travel the country with a band instead of a baseball team, and right now he’s celebrating having a top five hit with his latest single, “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home.”

“It probably would have been something with sports.  I mean I literally went school for two weeks. But what I was gonna do was be a physical therapist or a physical trainer, in the sense that one that traveled with like a baseball team or whether it be college or professional, some kind of ball team. I always thought that would be kind of fun.  And right around the time I was graduating high school, my mom had surgery on her leg or something and had to have therapy done.  And she was like, ‘I could see you doing that.’  And I was like, yeah, if I could do it with a ball team or something, that’d be cool.  So that was kind of always in the back of my mind.”
