Describe how you prepare before a game.
I just listen to music. And I try to have fun with my friends, because I don’t want to think about getting nervous, because there’s no reason to be nervous because you’ve been practicing.
What do you think your reputation is as an athlete?
Hard worker
What personal superstitions or traditions do you have before, during or after a game?
Listen to music and I don’t try to talk bad about the other teams that we’re playing, because then it just feels like we’re gonna get jinxed.
Tell us about your favorite memory as an athlete either on or off the field.
Being with my team, because, my team is really fun to be around, so we just mess around and we make this fun, with the sport.
Tell us the story about what you are most proud of yourself for.
In seventh grade I didn’t know how to play basketball at all, so I just tried out for fun. And throughout junior high, everybody would make fun of me, saying that I was bad, but now I feel like I’ve gotten a lot better from where I started, and like people are starting to like, notice me just a little.
Who is someone you are thankful for and why?
All coaches, coach Gordan and coach blackwell, have helped me a lot. Whenever I need them, even if it’s not about the sport, they just help me, and they help me through my problems.
What advice would you give to people that may want to play your sport?
Being in a team sport is really fun because you can make new friends you never thought you’d be friends with. And it’s fun to actually have something to do every day and push yourself towards goals to get better.
What’s on your bucket list?
Make it in Varsity and definitely become a better shooter and get faster.
