Schwarzman attended Abington High School, where he played basketball and ran track. His height—he is five feet eight—worked against him, but he says he learned that by working and training harder than anyone else “you gain an advantage at the margin.” He ran sprints and cross-country. He likes to tell a story about how, early in one cross-country race, he slipped and broke his wrist. Determined to set a record for the course, he got up and kept running, his arm tucked against his side, and set the record. At the finish, his coach asked him what was wrong. “I broke my wrist,” Schwarzman said, then went into shock and was rushed to the hospital.
