What are your thoughts on the how your team has performed?

We played well as a team and there is definitely something there as long as we keep the ball on the ground and play. Playing quickly up and down the field with quick one two passes we are fine.

What are some of your personal goals for the 2010 season?  What are some of the team goals?

My personal goals are to improve my one v. one skill and get my shooting accuracy back to where it was before.  My team goals are to have a winning season and make it to finals while developing good team chemistry.

What /who is this biggest influence in your life?

My parents are definitely my biggest influences in my life they push me to do my best on a daily basis. Even if it is some time annoying when I get phone calls all the time they are just doing their job.

What is the hardest thing about being a multi-sport athlete?

The hardest thing would be balancing my school work and being able to get into the gym to lift.
