What does it mean to be a good teammate? Why is it important to your success? What is one thing you do to help others around you?
It means to have everyone’s back no matter what is happening in the game at that certain time. It’s very important to our team’s success because when everyone knows we are family and we have each other’s backs, the game gets easier and less stressful. One thing I do to help others around me is to be a leader, setting that example for the younger guys.
If you could have dinner with anyone (living or from the past), who would it be? Why?
My parents, because they have given everything they could toward me and they mean so much to me and my success.
You’re on a long road trip, you stop at a gas station. You get one drink and one snack. What are you choosing?
Probably Gatorade and some watermelon Sour Patch Kids or hot Cheetos.
Describe your favorite post-game meal:
My favorite post-game meal is Mexican food, or some type of dinner with chicken.
