Bayley didn't get that hard body by lying about. She's been into a wide range of sports since middle school. But her primary love, as she told the Miami Herald, was basketball.

“I played everything,” she said. “I played volleyball, did track, cross-country, but basketball was my main sport, my main focus. My basketball coach had me do the other sports to keep me in shape, keep me noticed.”

She was her team's shooting guard, and she was captain of the varsity team in her senior year. Can you pick her out in this rare, high school yearbook photo? That smile is a dead giveaway.
