GROWING UP in Australia, Travis Bazzana heard the warnings. Dream small. Don't set yourself up for disappointment. Blend in with everyone. The sentiment is so deeply ingrained in Bazzana's homeland that it's got a name: tall poppy syndrome, after farmers' habit of cutting down the largest flowers in a field so they don't stand out.
None of it made much sense to him. Bazzana, listed at 6-foot but probably a tick shorter, was never the most imposing athlete on any given field.
