Connor McDavid Once Said Sidney Crosby Should Be President

Athletes often recall their childhood idols or favorite players who inspired them to pursue their careers. Golf star Rory McIlroy, for instance, admires Tiger Woods and used to watch him play all the time. He credits Woods as one of the reasons he became one of the world's best golfers.

In hockey, a young Connor McDavid idolized Sidney Crosby and even did a presentation about him in school. McDavid's teacher encouraged him to speak up and share his thoughts during class, believing it would help him with future interviews as a superstar player.
