If you have ever seen Chris Janson perform live, then you know how fit the country star really is. His energy is unmatched!

If it wasn’t for music, we might be witnessing Chris clocking miles on the soccer green or racking up the yards on a football field.

Chris recently told the press that he sacrificed the opportunity to do sports to pursue a stronger passion - music. 

“Well, I was an athlete in school,” says the “Done” singer. “I was a pitcher, and a wide receiver and quarterback, and a right forward in soccer. I was a pretty good athlete, actually, but I gave it up for music and skateboarding.” 

Chris has been swinging for the grandstands with multiple hits on the chart, making his choice to choose songs over sports a good one.
