How would other people describe you?
I’m very loud and energetic. Kind of all over the place.
How and why did you start playing?
I was in history class and I told my teacher that I played sports so he told me to try out for Waterpolo.
Describe how you prepare before a game.
Me and my team do team bonding before games and we go out for food.
What do you think your reputation is as an athlete?
I’m held to higher standards. As a student athlete, I have to maintain my grades up and make sure I’m on top of my grades as well as my sports.
What personal superstitions or traditions do you have before, during or after a game?
Before games we get in a circle as a team and we talk about what we’re helpful for the game and what we each individually have to work on. During the game, I make sure we all stay positive and at the end of the game, I make sure that everybody is in a good headspace and thinking positively regardless of the outcome of the game.
Tell us about your favorite memory as an athlete either on or off the field.
My favorite memory as an athlete is probably off the field, Every year we all hangout with the seniors outside of games. Just hang out as a team for the last time.
Tell us the story about what you are most proud of yourself for.
I am proud of myself for how much I have grown, not only from the sport but also as a person. My freshman year I could burly swim, I was very introverted and closed off. Now in my senior year I am extroverted, outgoing and loud. I have also improved in my sport.
Who is someone you are thankful for and why?
I’m thankful for my team and coaches because we all bring each other up
What advice would you give to people that may want to play your sport?
Don’t be afraid to try out. Everyone learns and grows. Everyone starts at one point so everybody is very helpful and won’t put you down because they were there at one point as well.
What’s on your bucket list?
Go to college and Skydiving
