>> when i come back here it's like back to memory lane that changed so much since i was in high school. >> back then, matthias was a typical high school jock. his life consumed by sports. when he wasn't running plays on the football field he was working on his fast pitch and trying to impress the ladies. i'm meeting father matthias at his old stomping grounds, the field where he competed as a tight end for four years. >> so were you playing football on this field when you realized that you might be interested in the priesthood? >> it wasn't really on my radar at all. i actually, just like everybody else. i wanted to play football and have fun. i mean, you work so hard, giving yourself to working out and to being good that you don't think about those type of things. you live for the friday nights, you know. >> what kinds of memories does this bring back? >> i remember just giving everything on this field, you know, just playing as if this was it. this is what high school's all about, playing sports and the girls and friends. >> you're pretty studly in high school i would imagine. >> maybe. my girlfriends would probably think so. >> yeah, because you had quite a few girlfriends in the past. >> absolutely. >> had you always thought that one day you would be married and have kids and have the white picket fence. >> absolutely.
