#7 He’s talented at quite a few other sports too
While we all know of his talent in the beautiful game, it wasn’t the only sport he thrived at in school, as the Welshman excelled at almost everything he participated in.
Bale showed early potential in a wide variety of other sports such as rugby, hockey and distance running; he also claims he’s pretty good at tennis even today.
His favourite pastime outside of football, however, is golf. Bale is a big fan of the sport and he constantly uses his free time to improve his swing and in general, become an all-round better golfer. His passion and commitment to the sport also saw him play a few rounds at the iconic US Open course at Pebble Beach, California.
