Wally Green | Overcoming Adversity: Wally Green on Life, Ping Pong, and Pickleball

When I was like, I don't know, like seven or eight, I was thinking of how I could put boric acid into his capsules of the pills that he took. Wow. Right. Because like I said, I watched my mom get hit all the time. Right. And, you know, it wasn't until the pandemic came where I learned about narcissism and learned what it was.

And I was like, oh, my God, man, that's why none of my family never came to my house. Right. But yeah. So, you know, I always thought I wanted to protect her. And I had an incident in school when I was about 14. I got caught with a loaded weapon in school. I got into a lot of trouble because I had other problems, other priors before.

You can't be on the team. And I needed those teams because those teams made me less violent. And I knew that. So I had people do the work for me for protection. I had people doing my work. I had people taking notes. I was on point because I needed those teams to just keep me from doing something even worse. So anyway, my mom convinced the judge that they would send me to boarding schools.

They would send me away to Africa. So I got sent away, like away, away. And when I got there, you know, it was me trying to find myself all again, over again. It was me trying to prove myself again. And it was kind of weird because I thought, you know, if I go to Africa, then it's gonna be easy peasy, right? Everyone's black like me, it's gonna be chill, but it wasn't the case at all.

It was the opposite. When I tell people this and they go, how is that possible? When I went there, I think the most racism I ever felt was there because for them, I wasn't the real black. They would call me in their language, the kid who eats butter, try to say I'm soft. So I spent a lot of time fighting. I spent a lot of time trying now because I had no gang members with me. It was just me.

I spent a lot of time trying to find myself again. And I joined this crazy military thing there called Man O' War. And Man O' War, it's like, I do not explain it. It's like Boy Scouts times 10,000. Yeah. Like they make you do stuff like just standing straight up and falling. It's wild. But that made me much stronger. And that made me think or know that I can finally protect my mom.
