Q&A
Q: What was the first sport you played? Why did you play it? Did you like it?
A: The first sport I played was basketball. I started playing it because my mom was the coach and I have always grown up in a basketball home. Yes, I do love it and I always have.
Q: What is the most important factor in you being successful in high school athletics?
A: The most important factor to being successful in high school sports is to just have fun because you make new friends and you will spend a lot of time with these friends who are teammates as well, so enjoy it and the rest will come with hard work.
