What’s your favorite memory from playing your sport in high school?
TPing the football boys houses before the first game and senior night, kidnapping the underclassman for a sleepover, and our weekly team dinners.
What advice would you give to younger players just starting out?
Go out there and give it your all.
Who has had the biggest influence on you as an athlete?
My parents, because they keep me motivated to continue to do sports and work hard.
How has being an athlete made your high school years different?
Being an athlete in high school has let me make so many friends over the years. It has helped me develop skills that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t play sports. It has taught me dedication and commitment to my sports.
Do you have a pregame routine for superstition?
My pregame routine is getting to the field and starting to get stretched. We then put on our accessories that go with the theme of the game. This could include; glitter, face paint, hand prints, glow sticks, hula skirts, ribbon. After that we run through our cheer for the week and our hello cheer. Then four of us get the run-through sign taped and ready for the boys to run through.
