What are you most excited about when it comes to playing in college?
I am most excited to be able to prove to my coaches and myself that I should be playing at this level. I am also excited to travel with the team to other states to play other teams
Advice for aspiring college players:
If you want to play at the college level you need to always be putting in the extra work. Just playing during the season is not going to be enough. You need to constantly be finding ways to make yourself better.
What motivates you to keep working?
What motivates me to keep working is being the best there is in my position. I also keep working because I don’t want to let down all of the people who have invested their time in me.
What do you do to get ready for a game?
It depends on the day. Sometimes I listen to metal and other days I listen to party music
