Sporty Professor in charge of U.S. Soccer

This certainly comes as a shock to me. All of us know the popularity of soccer in India pales in comparison to that of cricket. And, we also know that both the male and female soccer teams representing the US are far superior compared to their Indian counterparts. Yet, the head of the US soccer federation is an Indian -- Sunil Gulati. Even more surprising is that managing soccer is one of his secondary activities. Sunil's day job is as an economics professor at Columbia University! Check out the article linked above to read his amazing story. Certainly an inspiration for people like me, who lack the skill to play any sport, that enthusiasm for sports can be sustained as life goes on.
