Q: How does friendship affect you while playing basketball?

A: I made most of my friends on the basketball team, and it was really a sense of community. I can go to the girls with anything.

Q: What are some challenges that you have faced while playing basketball?

A: It is hard trying to balance everything, learning how to balance my school work, going to practices on time, being there on time. Going into the season, I got over that challenge.

Q: What are the things that you think you need to improve?

A: I need to improve talking on the court and making sure that if I mess up, I don’t put myself down, since I know I have done that. My team is there to pick me back up. I know that they will always be there when I put myself down.

Q: Would you consider doing this sport later on in your life?

A: Yeah, I will for college, depending on the college that I will go to.

Q: What are the goals for you for the upcoming basketball season?
