Clifford Rove played many sports when he was young, including baseball, basketball, lacrosse, and soccer. But as soon as he got to high school, he started to focus only on football, with the exception of one other sport. What was that sport you ask? Clifford Rove was on.... the chess team in high school. He has said that he always had a love for the game of chess, which he has known how to play since his father taught him when he was only five years old. He loves the strategy, and the gamesmanship of chess, not to mention it can help his quick thinking while out on the football field.
In the Philadelphia locker room, Rove has not yet lost a game, and the quarterback states that he hopes to keep it that way. "I'm always competing, whether it be football or something else like chess, so even though I'm always up for a good game, I do certainly have confidence that I will win every time. I don't want to let any games get away from me." While many would say that chess isn't a sport, Rove begs to differ. He says that chess is a sport for the mind, and a fun one at that.
