Q&A
Q: How did you get involved in playing sports?
A: My mom has always coached basketball since the time I was little. My pap is retired now but he has always been a coach. they both have a lot to do with me playing sports and I couldn’t be more thankful for them both
Q: What is the most enjoyable thing you have ever had happen to you on an athletic field?
A: I love playing every game with my team but I’d probably have to say winning the D9 title with the girls I’ve played with for as long as I can remember
Q: If you could go to any event (it doesn’t have to be a sporting event) in the world, what would it be and why? *
A: Kenny Chesney concert. I’ve always wanted to go to one with my Mom.
Q: What teacher has had the most impact on you in school? Why?
A: Definitely Mrs. Callihan and Mrs. Zanella. They are always there to help and they always have the best advice. They’re my buddies.
Q: Do you have any superstitions in any of the sports you play?
A: No.
Q: You have one day where you can do anything your heart desires. Cost is not a factor. What would it be?
A: I would like to go to an NBA game.
Q: If you could go back in time, where would you go and why?
A: I would go back and watch my Mom and my Aunt Michelle play a few games
Q: Is there anything you wish we would have asked you? If so, what is the question/answer?
A: I wish you would’ve asked me about the impact all of the coaches made throughout the years. My Mom and my Pap shaped me into the player I am and taught me everything I know. My junior high coaches always stressed intensity and my coaches now teach us all attitude and effort. You’ll always need a good attitude for everything you do in life and you never give less than your best effort in anything you do.
