Q&A With Gavin Murdock
D9and10Sports: How did you first get involved in sports and did you like it?
A: I always had tons of energy to burn whether it was me playing Tee-Ball or flag football or even just playing backyard sports with my family and I absolutely loved it.
D9and10Sports: Who has been your biggest influence in life and why?
A: My dad has been the biggest influence in my life for the sole reason that he would never let me back down, never let me give up, and never doubt me, he has been behind me supporting me for my whole sports career in every sport and every season. There has not been a game, match, or event that my dad has missed no matter the distance no matter if it took out of what he was doing with work or if he was supposed to be doing something else. He always puts me first and that is why he will forever be my number one biggest influence in my life.
