Who has been your biggest influence in this sport and why? My parents were always the ones who pushed my love for the game. They got us in the gym every chance we got and that made me the player I am today.

What is your favorite pre-game or pre-match ritual? Enjoying my pre-game spark with Baylee and Liz.

What is your favorite practice drill and why? Animal because that’s when you see everyone’s mean side.

What advice would you offer younger athletes? Always put in the work in the off-season. Skipping out won’t make you a better athlete and it only hurts the team.
