What’s your favorite part about volleyball? I’d say blocking, when you roof somebody, everybody gets hyped up, it’s fun to see. Do you have any superstitions or rituals before a game? Not really, I just try to listen to music and get in the right mindset. What’s the best coaching advice you’ve ever gotten? I’d say just to focus on the next point. If you get blocked or shot down, it can get to you, but you need to think its in the past and you got a whole game ahead of you. Just forget about it and move on to the next point. If you could play any other sport, what would you play? I use to play baseball when I was younger, but I stopped, I was really into basketball. I’d still like to get back into it someday. Where’s your favorite place to eat? I’d go with Mod Pizza, best pizza I’ve ever had, I go there endlessly. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I’d go to Australia. I’ve never been there, everybody says it’s really cool, I’d hear some accents. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? I’ll go with flying, be anywhere I want whenever I want and be the best that any sport I want to play basically. What do you want to cross off your bucket list? Right now, I really want photo SUBMITTED to win this year’s sectional title. I’d say in the future, just getting a college degree. What is your favorite movie? I’d go with either Friday or Back to the Future. I’ll go with Friday, Chris Tucker is my favorite actor, I laugh out loud every time I watch it. What are your college plans? I’m going to Miami of Ohio. I was looking to study sports management, and when I visited I was talking with a professor, we really just connected, it sounded like a great fit for what I wanted to do.
